Thanks for the help guys, CAMS categories are confusing. I should have called this thread "What CAMS category can I run?"
AASA we can do pretty much whatever we want, so I am looking for a class that is very open.
The car is a 1982 Alfa Romeo GTV (Not GTV6. Stock engine is a 2L 4 cyl.
I want to be able to put in a larger capacity Alfa V6 from a newer alfa in it, and have pretty much free reign on engine mods.
I want faily open rules on suspension, brakes, etc.
I want to be able to use a GTV6 bonnet (Stock bonnet from the V6 model, these are much easier to get fibreglass copies of, and look cooler). I am happy to leave the rest of the body looking quite stock, including limited or no aero parts, spoilers, etc.
I am happy to run 2 seats (we often get to do passenger runs out our sprint days)
All the usual race car stuff, strip, cage, polycarbonate windows, etc.
Car has some body rust that I need to repair.
So what is a better option out of groups 2A or 3D? (Or any other suggestions?)

3D has been suggested. It looks good, but I am concerned about the following:
1 - I am concerned that cutting out rust may violate all the clauses about "standard factory sheetmetal including roof, pillars, door sills and the majority of the cockpit floor section", even if I weld in metal to replace that which is cut out?
2 - I am concerend that I won't be able to use the GTV6 bonnet, as it is not the standard bonnet for the "Defined Car" which would be a GTV. Would I get away with this as the GTV6 is basically an identical car but with a V6 engine? Could I used a GTV6 as the "Defined Car" even though the shell was originally a GTV?
3 - I am sure I read somewhere in this section that 3D requires the original block be used, but I can't find that in the regs. The regs seem to indicate you can run any engine, as long as it is sourced from an eligible car. Is this correct?
If points 1 & 3 aren't a problem, I guess I can logbook it with the std bonnet and just use the fibreglass one for non CAMS events...
For group 2A, it does not outline any regulations in regards to Engine, suspension, brakes, etc. Can I therefore assume that these are all free?
What do you all think is the best option?
Cheers,
