My 1965 GTO project

Nice ride; my favorite year of GTO.

Are those GM exhaust manifolds? They tuck in really nicely to the engine.

Do you like/recommend your two post lift? I haven’t seen a lift with low posts like that one and the low height makes the area around the lift seems more “roomy”. (I must be watching too many home improvement shows)

I highly recommend the Holley 302-2 or-3 oil pan. You are going to fight that pan you have until you are completely frustrated and then get the Holley pan in the end anyway. Save yourself the aggravation and get it now.

And get the Holley mounts while you're at it.

Hate to tell you but that pan is going to hang under the cross member and hit your inner tie rods. That's the GM muscle car/hummer pan, had it on my ls swap blazer.

Yep you are wasting your time with that pan. You can get a knockoff Holley pan on eBay if your budget is tight.

The manifolds are nice and heavy, designed to be quiet up front. They are Summit brand, a copy of the newer Camaro manifolds. I do like the lift. It bolts to the floor and I can remove them in about 5 minutes when not in use.

They look exactly like the Hooker manifolds. I bet Holley makes them for Summit without the logo insert in the mold.

Fifth gen Camaro manifolds are very different.

I thought that was what my research turned up, but I could be wrong. Holley makes them, Flowtech makes them, these are Summit and plenty of no name versions on Ebay. Most the cheap one's are 2.25in, these are 2.5in. The box said made in USA so probably not made by Holley.

Front seats from TMI? Know anything about fitting them in a GTO? I have a 67 and thinking about new seats. TMI sells a "universal" seat but states "brackets need modification".
