It's been a while since I have updated this thread or even taken the GTO out for a spin. I've been having a lot of fun with the Cougar, but lately I have been thinking about how I can improve the GTO.
Hooker is about to release a lot of very well engineered components for A-body swaps and it is tempting to redo my swap to make things better. Holley has new mounts, headers, and crossmembers that are engineered to work together and work around the Holley oil pan. Currently my inner tie rods hit the Autokraft pan so it would be nice to fix that. I would also like to have new stainless headers and a full stainless exhaust, which Hooker will offer. I realize that it seems kind of dumb to redo a car that runs and drives, but I am always trying to make things better. Another thing that I have been thinking about is swapping over to a 4L80E. Seems kind of nuts, but I have never owned a performance car with an automatic and I would really enjoy seeing what I can do in terms of tuning the transmission. To make the auto trans possible, I would also swap the ECU to a Holley Dominator. I am open to all inputs.... Andrew

I'm a big advocate of the 4L80E, sure many here are aware of that! I have to say it's one of the best upgrades I've ever done on my Lemans, hands down. I did an install thread on the swap, might find some useful info there.
One thing that I've heard is that the TCI '6-speed' 4L80E doesn't offer engine braking, so IMO, stay away from that one. I ran a CompuShift controller, love the flexibility of it, but on this go-around, I will be doing the Holley Dominator ECU, since I plan to go multi-point. Should have it installed and provide feedback within 3 months or so. .

About the only thing that would be a step up in performance in your GTO is a JATO bottle. I'm still grinning from that ride in your GTO.

Andrew was that your car in that ad? Looked like you drag racing at LS Fest.

Anyone want a LT1 or LT4 in their GTO? How about a single turbo on their LSx swap?

Someone made a post recently on this forum lamenting the lack of young people at car shows and it inspired me to write this...

Bumping this thread up, for no other reason than it has been over 10 years since I did my LS swap.

Maybe not many people care about an ls in a GTO.

Too many haters. Makes no sense to me. Nobody is forcing anyone to like or do anything, and regardless of what some think, it's still a form of art, no matter how you look at it.

Cool build. Thanks for bringing this thread back to the top. I was not a member here during your build so I missed this thread. Fun reading.
My 68 GTO doesn't have it's original engine either. I think it's a pretty cool car anyway.... Love my LS2 GTO. That engine is original to the car. Have owned a few GTOs over the years and the 2005 is my favorite of the bunch. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
