Default 72 Nova LQ9/T56 preparation

I will be doing this swap in the near future and have heard that the GTO accessory brackets and oil pan work well for a Nova subframe. As of now the subframe will be factory but rebuilt. I have been looking at all the other build threads and can't find where I read about the GTO accessories working. Any input on the matter would be great.

I think the gto acc are similar to the f-body. I think you should do the swap in vehicle in the background of your sig. Lol.

72 Nova is the intended project as stated in the title Yeah I don't think an LS2 would push the German Elefant in that pic. LOL. It would be a good conversation starter anyway.

ok. just checking.. the GTO pan is not going to work without major work.. as I noted, it is a front sump pan..

The Nova has a X-Member that would be in the way and is why everyone uses conventional rear sump oil pans.
