Basically what I'm trying to do is turn this GTO wanna be into a fun muscle car, that I can drive the hell out of on the weekends. I have a 1969 GTO motor that I just got completely rebuilt. I'm expecting it to have over 400hp and close to 500ft/lbs of torque with all my performance parts. I recently bought a 4 speed Muncie m20. The body has a lot of putty but the frame and floor are strong. For an exhaust i was thinking 3inch duels coming out before the rear tires. It's illegal but it should sound sick. I'm going to get edelbrock shocks, sway bars, and traction bars to upgrade the suspension. Then I'm probably gonna have to put a limited slip rear end in it. The last thing I'm going to do is replace the whole body with new metal. Then I'm going to paint it.... uh shiny or flat black.
