Default GTO accesories

What accesories do the GTO's use is it F-body or Vette style or is it something all to it's own?

The layout is the same as the f-body. They share the same crank pulley to block distance.

Does he realize that the Alternator on f-body accessories will want to share the same space as your steering box in the S-10? or are you talking about the Monte?

S-10 and I don't know what he realizes I know he swaps out one or two things for Vette brackets and I think one custom but I remember him saying he likes to start with the F-body stuff. Gotta go talk to him.

Who is the one helping? I know a lot of the people in this area doing these kinds of things. I know Current Performance is moving to a bigger place here soon where he is going to start doing the swaps in house. I think he said it is up in Hudson.

Yeah I've talked to him he might help or even do the wiring. But the guy I know you don't like too much may have his act together he's in a new shop and has a "boss" so alot of the shenanigans (heh, I love that word) will be gone I'm still evaluating the situation. If Jared at Current is doing that I might give his shop a look. A BIG part of why I want to go to the "guy" is because even his new shop is about 10 min from my house. I gotta see hopefully I'll have the 8.5" and the 4 link put in by the end of the year. I'm taking that to Pletcher another guy about 10 min from my house.

Why don't you pm me with some info on the other people who are doing this locally to us.

Yeah, Jarod builds nice harnesses. Thats who does all our new ones. Its not worth working with a stock harness in most setups. I have one 2005 LS2 T56 setup. The car only has 1,809 miles on it. I post a couple pics of the car. I did buy a $90 key and I have had the engine running in the car.

Thanks Scott
