Nicely done.

The exhaust note is the brain tells me V-8.
Does it qualify to bring to ToyotaFest?

I don't see whats wrong there at all. Yes that type of Camaro is typically associated with a nice V8 Rumble, but whats wrong with a little change? The car looks spot on too, super clean .

As for confusion, I'm not sure I agree with that statement at all. Look how many imports throw the LSX's in them. We have SC400s that go through the LS1 swap, we have Miata's that have LS1's, we have RX7's with the LSX's in them. The list can go on. I think he did a pretty nice job on the car

Not blasphemous. Many 1g camaros came with an I6. Cleanly done.

However, everyone knows if you want 1500ft lbs of reliable torque, you put a BBC in there. (and on the flip side, there are a few LSx MKIV supra's about now last I heard)

Torque is absolutely NOTHING by itself. Waterwheels make more torque than a Semi.
