[66gp]

I am new to the forum and just wanted to introduce myself. I posted once on the old forum, but never introduced myself. I am trying to build my first pro-touring car. I am leaning more toward the touring side than the pro side. My car is a 66 Pontiac Grand Prix ( really long, really wide, and weights approx 4000lbs without me!!). I recently rebuilt mild 455 for the car, but I am currently considering an LT-1 swap for many reasons. I know some people would flame me for putting a chevy motor in a pontiac, but until someone can point me to a junkyard that has fuel injected pontiac V-8 for under a grand$$, the LT-1 looks appealing.



The biggest problem I am having is finding aftermarket brake and suspension parts. Nobody makes them. I don't expect the car to handle like a vette, but I would like handle like or better than a 94-96 Impala SS. Brakes are a huge concern right now.

I do have a few other things I consider a must:
Better bucket seats
variable speed windshield wipers
air conditiong
disc brakes( preferabely 4-wheel)
faster ratio steering


Except for the brakes I think I have got most of it figured out. I want this car to be my daily driver again.

Thanks for listening. Sorry I don't have any pics right now
