How much canit handle
I got the weld in frame contors in my 84 camaro z28 whould this beable to stand a 700hp big block chevy ..... How much Hp can a top of the line 10 bolt rear end and turbo 350 hold.
i would do alot more than just sfc's. Not trying to knock you or anything but i dont see a 700hp bbc working in a 3rd gen tho. A bbc is a very tight fit in our cars, and running exhaust big enough to accomodate that kind of power is almost impossible. Might want to look into a sbc 400 or something. you can obtain almost the same power levels if you build the motor right.
I got this 427 that is just bad *** it was in a 85 checy 1500 with 36 in mud bogger tires and a big lift kit i think 16 in or more and it whould pull the front end off the ground (when it dident break stuff like drive shafts) i wana sell it but no ones got any $ and i dont got anything to put it in.
There is a guy in my club with an '88 Camaro with a 500RWHP 427 BBC in it. You can check his car out at www.koolmeister.com hopefully he doesn't get pissed that I shared his website. 

subframe connectors are good for sissy motors like mine.
If you put in a BBC with the kind of power you are talking about, a 4pt rollcage would be on my list of things TO DO before I even put that monster in my car.
About a 10 bolt, I don't think so.... haha No way.
Look into a Ford 9" or a GM 12 bolt. Drive shaft upgrade too. That kind of totrure won't make a stock drive shaft last very long at all. First pass down the track would prpbably snap it in half.
600hp LS1 cars twist driveshafts pretty easily.

I would love to replace my 383 with a big block! Besides the above mentioned stuff you'll also need to upgrade your fuel system. 700hp sucks up a lot of fuel and the lines are to small.
I would recommend a shock tower brace and I think the turbo 350 is a bit light. I would go with a street/strip 400 or 4L60.
Though not a absolute requirement, your stock suspension is pretty lame and I'll bet you'll want to upgrade it also.
Get out your wallet!!! But man what fun!!
