Spring can not get here fast enough. I purchased my GTO in DEC. and have not really had a chance to drive it.
Next weekend is the start of the GTO make over. Remove the "extreme motor" and install the original 400 block with a six pak. do engine prep work and should be rolling fine for April 7 when the GTO is . scheduled for a paint job. Will reshoot it with the ascot silver. Lets think spring, lets see pics of those a bodies

John, I've seen them before, me being 75lemanssc over at the a-bodysite, but always great to see again. Have you thought about putting some GTO stripes on it and if so, what color would they be? Black and red, I guess?

Have thought about the stripes. The only set of stripes I knew of were very $$$. I was looking into having them made but the deal feel through. Chief Wanabee My bad. I work with a mopar boy. I will put the "six pack in the fridge for later. BillyG The pics that I posted are actually pics from Bruce. I havent had a chance to get any good pics of my own other than the engine compartment..........

Nice rides. I had the Olds 260 auto in a 77 442 and it wasn't bad. I liked that car alot and miss it, wish mine had the 5 speed though. Car had 135k on it when I sold it and it still ran strong.
pontiacmuscle - weren't you looking to swap the engine ? If only 10 or so were made I would keep it together and find another correct 5 speed trans. It's too rare to change it. It's a V8 with a 5 speed !!! Something not seen again until recently from the auto industry. John |

John;
In reality; its a rare combo which is why Im going to keep the 260 in the garage (for a doorstop) and put something in the engine bay that can make some torque and have some fun with the car. The original 5 speed was long gone when I got the car so If I come across one in a Chevette (T-50) I'll set it aside. Im still going to do a swap; in fact the Saginaw that had replaced the T-50 is long gone...... I'd found a car on Epay I was going to use for parts to do the conversion to Pontiac Power.....but after it got here and I saw what condition its in; I really changed my mind....alot nicer than I expected.

But yes, that is the plan. Also currently undergoing a color change (going back to blue), and I have just dropped in a mildly built dual quad 455. |
