Decided to ressurect the third gen. Brainstorming time...

[bottledbird68]

Ok, we talked it over and I really want my third gen back together. But, being that the 68 is still in pieces I don't want to sink a ton of cash into it. And, since the Camaro doesn't seem to want to sell and what I'm getting for offers wont cover an ls/t56 swap that'll make the same 400 horse that the z's lt1 is already close too we've decided it's most cost effective to gut the Camaro and swap it all into the third gen.

Anyhow, just debating if there's any cheap worthwhile upgrades to do while it's out. I'm planning on a 24x conversion since I'm tired of opti issues. Also planning on a clutch. What's good these days? Been a few years since I looked into lt1 clutches. Motor is just shy of 400 horse and I'm most likely going to put one of my nitrous kits I have laying around to good use so it'll be seeing at least a 150 shot.
Motor already has a hot cam. Any current cams out there worth upgrading to? I'll go that deep if it's worth 20+ horse, otherwise I'll leave it be. I'm thinking my stock ported heads are going to limit me there but I figure it's worth asking. I've been researching ls stuff mainly so I'm out of touch in the lt1 world.

I have some minor body and paint work to do too so I'm thinking of spicing it up a little but I'm open to ideas. Got a couple in my head but I don't know if I'm crazy about any of them yet. Cars most likely staying the 06 gto brazen orange so I'm looking to build off that. Salad shooters are going, c5 front brakes are going back on, and it'll most likely get the c6 zr1 replica wheels off the Camaro.

So yeah, here it sits now. Camaro is staying together until the turkey burn unless the shell sells first. Then it's game on in about a month or so.
