Re: LT5 into GTO project
Ok, to the update of the project. I forgot my camera again today, but will update photos when I get back next week from Maryland again.
Tunnel is cut out, and new one fabbed, waiting to be welded in Custom motor mount brackets made Custom trans mount made, pinion set. Crank locator tooth welded on the reluctor wheel oil pan is modified for crossmember My damn diff is open, so I am going to need to install a lsd. I still need to make a removable console, and have it covered with leather. Someone has generously donated a engine wiring harness to help me fab what I need. I have purchased a painless wiring kit to update the wiring in the gto, still has not arrived My vintage air system still has not arrived I have decided agains a modern gto dash, I just love the simplicity of the old interior, and I already have electronic gauges installed in the stock clutster I need to get on assembling the engine, and locating some trans to bellhousing bolts. At this point I think I am just going to bead blast everything and paint it black. i do not have time to fab everything up the way I want it and have it black chromed. Paint will have to work for awhile. I need to either modify the crossmember, i.e. box the uppers, or modify the sw headers. I think I am going to modify the headers instead of the crossmember.the first two runners of each side interfere with the crossmember. Last edited by todesengel; 02-11-2011 at 01:01 AM. |

Re: LT5 into GTO project
Cool to see those parts are going to get used instead of sit on my shelf as garage art. The spacers should be replicated in aluminum or you can modify the dropped plenum to make it fit over the breather tubes the same way Kurt White has done.
Glad you are pleased with the purchase. |

Re: LT5 into GTO project
I always appreciate doing business with people who keep their word, and deliver what they promise, or in this case, more.
Thank you very much again! |
