New GTO Owner starting restoration
I just picked up a '65 GTO and will be starting work on a restomod shortly. Currently it is not running and has some kind of '70s 400 in it. I believe at one point the previous owner(s) had dragged the car a bit. My plans are to do a new engine/tranny combination and redo the interior (fixing whatever else pops up along the way). I could use some help with your basic getting started questions.
Is there a FAQ or sticky somewhere with answers to common questions?
Has anyone put an LS3 in an older GTO and if so, what tranny?
I've not checked the rear yet, but read a great thread on gearing. What rear end came with the '65? (i think it's possible it was swapped out)
How about disc brake conversions? Good/Bad?
I'm happy to do the research on these and would appreciate any pointers on where to start. I'd like to end up with a nice performing GTO that is a pleasure to drive and still gets down the road pretty quick.
Thanks for any pointers/advice. Just starting what should be an interesting journey.
