GTO Roller Help Guys, I'm going to look at a 2006 GTO roller this weekend. My question to all of you is can I run a LS1/LQ4/LQ9 in the 06? There's been some debate on 24X rings and 58X rings on the 06's so worst case if this came with a 58X ring, I would just need to either swap rings or run the Converter box correct? My goal is to just drive the car for now and I have a complete drivetrain to drop in if this will work. Any and all help is appreciated.

Ok, so that being said, I shouldn't have any issues putting and ls1 style drivetrain with GTO accessories in the GTO with the exception of some tuning. Thanks for the confirmation.

The biggest thing you should need, is if you are going with a manual tranny is the GTO style shifter....it sits back farther on the tranny than in a truck or f-body...if you have the option, go with a lq4/9 block 408 stroker....I absolutely love mine

Cool...thanks guys. One last question since you guys know your GTO's....what would you guys pay for a roller? I'm talking about a car this is really clean, no accidents, just needs engine, trans, and front accessories (waterpump, power steering pump, A/C, etc). Just curious. Thanks again.

I just bought an 04 gto roller with a built tranny, full exhaust and he gave me all the accesories. Just picked up an lq9 out of an escalade hopefully it won't be to long before I can get the time to work on it. Gunna be my new DD.

The guy still has it and I'm up in the air about it. The guy I sold my old 00' SS Hardtop to called me last week to let me know he's putting the car up for sale. I loved that car and hated selling it so I don't know if I should buy it back or go the GTO route.
