I have a 66 GTO that I want to put a 6speed and a LS motor in it, Anyone got one for sale? How about any suggestions for making the car handle halfway decent, so I could autocross it and take it on the track?
I see there are all sort of aftermarket tubular A-Arms for the car, but some options are waaaay too pricey. Not really sure how to tell one part from the other.

thanks for all the suggestions. I found a 6.0 out of a 2005 GTO (15k miles!) includes manual trans complete from cleveland pic-a-part. Now I just need to work on the suspension mods, there are lotts of options out there, I am leaning towards global west. I have possibly talked a well known racecar builder in to working on the project, he never makes junk, so it should turn out fine. can't wait for the first track day, actually with me being me, I can't wait for the first 1/4 mile long burn out!

Would any one happen to have a strange engineering (or other totally cool rear end) for sale for my build?
and of course I will be looking for LS2 parts and good modifications.

Thanks again
Todd
