Where are all the 2nd gens? Doesn't seem to be many 2nd gens posting in here...Anybody out there? 
I just joined this site a few months ago to learn about the LS platform. I have a 70 Z28 and have been a member of Nastyz28.com for 15 years.
I am switching over to an LS7 and came here to be educated. Car is in the paint shop at the moment, giving me time to do some shopping...
Would be interested in hearing about any tips/tricks 2nd gen Camaros have learned...
What I have so far:
DSE front sub-frame, T56 magnum, DSE headers, Vintage AC, C&S racing radiator, Moser 9" 4.10 rear, considering options on an LS7...
thanks.

Well this isn't good.... I came here, from there, to learn more too! Putting a 6.0L LQ4 in mine, mating up to the original Muncie M21 and 12 bolt rear. Just picked up an LS1 intake and close to pulling the trigger on a complete accessory set up to keep the stock hood.

2nd gen camaros We are just a few on here. I used the nasty z28 site for a lot of info on restoration and suspension mods others hade done, sure is a lot of info on there but I never was a member. I became a member on here because of all the info on the LS platform engine and components and have purchased items for my build. A lot of great builds with LS in conversions section.Some day I will post a thread on my build.Welcome fellow second gen owners.

2nd Gen is an awesome car for the LS conversion. It will be my next build once I find a solid candidate. I spend many of my younger years crawling under around and in a 68 Z/28 and a 70 Z/28. Used to drag race and Autocross both in the 70's. I am very familiar with both cars. I like the handling of the 2nd Gen as well as the room it will allow for the conversion. I am looking forward to all of your contributions during your builds. If I can help with any info don't hesitate to PM me. I have the following on my car....not a hijack, just offering info/advice.
67 Camaro
99 Vette LS1 Drive by Wire
LS rebuilt by me, basically stock with GM Hot Cam Kit
New T56 close ratio
Hydraulic clutch kit
Hotchkis sway bar & lowered springs
Speed tech A arms
QA1 shocks
LS fuel pump in tank
Vette style fuel return
Vintage Air
3:73 12 Bolt

A "helichik" is absolutely a woman that flies helicopters! 😜 I can't wait to get my project underway. Money is the root of all my evil, but I am taking her to the frame shop and the sandblaster for some quotes tomorrow. 😀

I will post some pictures once things start happening. Right now I have a Painless chassis harness, Vintage air, seal kit, C&R racing radiator, DSE subframe w/ Baer brakes, and a few other small items. Putting in a Mast Motorsports LS7 with a t56 magnum. Currently running a Moser 9" with 4.10 gears. Used that with my previous 397 sbc - guess I'll keep it for this new build also.
Going to be fun! Always interested in other people experiences - not to worry about hijacking thread...

Is the helicopter gig a career or hobby?

Yea, I wanted to at least do that for it! I moved into a new house and am doing some remodeling on it. As soon as that is done and I can get the garage cleared out, I'll probably move the 73 out there so I can start working on it. The 94 is already there, but it's covered in junk like the rest of the garage, haha!
