Thanks for the advice Pat. I can see 2 1/4 to 2 3/8 step headers with fabricated inner fenders and modified steering (maybe hydraulic T-O bearing as well).
He heard from Kooks' yesterday that they can't get it into thier shop until the middle of June, so it'll be a while before i can do a followup.
We might do a gear change, right now it is 3.77 and i'm thinking it should go to about 3.0 or maybe under? Any thoughts? 28" tall radial rear tire.
Yes, it will be a handfull to drive. Especially when the road is wet as it has a very agressive locker.

i have a 35 spline locker in the gto i do not care for it much . i never had step tubes my race gto was a 572 that had 2 3/8 tubes in that car . the 66 red car street car had has many bbc s and has had last two sets of headers i made for the 468then 548 and i could get that set to fit the 572 when i had it in the car . rework the steering then at that time lowered the center link made new idle arm and pittman arm cut most of the front cossmember out and box it to lower the engine for the oilpan i made for the donovan then made a new set of headers. i done every thing you can just about think of i done to the Gm A body frame in the last 30 years. on the 29 tires. i had a set under the gto did not care for the look . on the gear whats first gear in the trans ? .there is no way you can drive the car with out sticky tires . you will never drive the car on wet roads in the wet . this guy less he has had many very fast street cars.. has no clue what he has... no joking someone can get hurt . takes a new way for some to drive a car like that on the street.you need to watch man hole covers as they can be slick and will pull the car sideways . dew on the side of the road at night . on the gto till the car gets up on the back tires you can not put good power down this car has been known for carring the front tires in 2 gear. just ask freddy at becool
