My first post here. :icon996:
I have a 67 GTO that's been sitting in the garage acting like a shelf for way too many years now. I just found out that the 2005 HotRod Power Tour is gonna end in my home town. Since the 2003 Tour was such a blast in my Camaro SS I want to get the GTO back on the road for the 2005 show. (We all know this is just an excuse to get the GTO back on the street - lol All goals need a time frame. :cheers: ) Anyway, I've been so impressed with the LS1 so far that I want to throw one into the Goat. I've seen it done before but need to find out where I can buy the adapters I'll need to mount the motor & trans. I'm planning on getting a wrecked Z28 for all the other misc parts that I'll need. I don't really want to fabricate the brackets and crossmember myself.
I'm thinking, LS1/4l60E/273-323 gear. I'll leave it stock for the most part. I'm not building a race car - more of a dependable project that can be driven frequently and keep the gas mileage as good as possible.
One specific question I have concerns the computer. What will I have to do programming-wise to avoid trouble codes associated with air bags and antilock brakes?
