Helped a friend do a GT6 last summer -- looks something like this.

I was sorta kidding, but that frame looks stronger than I thought it would be. Was much or any reinforcement required? The X-frame reminds me of the late 50's-early 60's full-size Chevy frames.

He’s just restoring - was simply illustrating the body coming off the frame.

ANY LS going into anything British from 60’s/70’s ought to necessitate a serious look at appropriate structural upgrades.

That's what I was thinking. Though, as said, that frame looked even stronger than I thought it would. Even so, 450HP can persuade a lot of metal. lol

I put an LS3 in a 73 TR6. Did significant modifications to frame, suspension and body.
