1. Which Oil pan did you use?
2. Which front accessories did you use with AC?

I'm planning on installing a '04 LS1/T56 out of a GTO into my '66 GTO. Thanks.

Maybe talk to these guys...

Just remember that though it's close, a GTO is not a Chevelle. You might expect some differences in the front steering as well as some other minor stuff. Shape of the front wheel wells, etc. There isn't THAT much different for what you're doing up front, but there is some.

I'll give them a shout, thanks! :)

Do a search for a build thread by b-man. It's a 64 but very detailed and worth the read.

I am thinking the new cast pan from MAST will be the one to use on my 64 GTO due to it's shallow depth at the front. Rumor has it that it will be out this month.

wegner front drive and autokraft/champ pan. pan clears the tierods because i raised the motor to gain ground clearance so i could then lower the whole car a little more.
