That is no GTO pan. A GTO pan is a front sump and would no way clear a fox k-member

If you are using a AJE k-member then a 98-02 f-body pan is the one to go with

This is a GTO pan

Love the build. Was wondering on how you went about the electrical wiring for the starter and alternator?

Thanx.

Um well I have the battery in the trunk with a circuit breaker, cable is ran to the starter and a decent size wire going from the alternator to the starter. Pretty much how I do it on all my swaps and never had an issue.

what about the wiring from the ignition key to the starter?
And also what radiator coolant reservoir are you using?

From the key I think it was the white /pink wire to a relay to the starter.

Haven't figured out a reservoir yet.might either get a universal one and try to hide it, or build my own.

5.3 starter but any of the LS series will fit as long as it's the right style. There's 2 different styles.

actually theres a couple different ones. theres different mounting bolt sizes and different mounting locations. you just have to look at what you got and what you can find.
