The above chassis is the way to go. You can get away with chassis swaps on trucks because you are just replacing a chassis with a different chassis. Since the Camaro is a unibody that sits real low there is just very little room for a chassis to be added. That is why a custom built chassis is about your only options. Now if you are looking for doing this on the cheap and you have some skills with a welder, you can find a C4 corvette parts car steal the front and rear suspension, fab it into your 2nd gen then add a roll bar with sub frame supports and you should end up with a car that would match a modern Camaro/Mustang handling. People always forget that in 1984 the C4 was the first production car to be able to hold 1 G on corners and back then tires where the biggest limitation.
The great thing about 1st and second gen camaros is there are so many options out there.
