70 GTO.....part 2

[Roger Poirier]

Roger...Very nice looking 69. Ill put some more specifics in this reply.

Jims78elky....you remember well. We fabbed a custom dash (Im still using it) and did a mini-tub for a set of first gen Viper rear tires (345/35X18's).

PT442...Ive been working and planning for 2 years. In another month, plasma cutters, TIG welders and a ton of parts come together.

PonchoJohn...Ive always been a Pontiac purist. No BBC's for me.

Some more specifics;
C-5 front suspension, 15:1 (2.5 turns lock to lock) power rack & pinion, Strange double adjustable shocks all 4 corners, 550# front and 250# rear springs (to start with), Tri-4 bar rear suspension, Mark Williams modular 9" rearend, Wilwood 14" disc brakes all 4 corners, 6 piston F & 4 piston R ,Budnil billet, G-Force custom T-56, McLeod dual disc.
The motor is 542 (4.380"X4.500") inches. Its based on an LSM CNC lightened IA-2 cylinder block, SCAT forged crank, Oliver billet rods, solid roller, Procharger F-1C, intercooler, FAST EFI, etc.

The big inch, low compression (9.2:1) and moderate boost (~12#) combo should make for a good street package.

If you can pull this off, that package for your GTO will set a new ... well a new... well a new... you know what I mean!

Nice project you got there. Was looking at the same frame but didn't want to cut up the floor to fit it. One of my friends ordered up a Schwartz frame and I'm waiting to see how that turns out.

Good luck with the project and keep us updated.
