When I first got my GT a couple months ago it was mostly stock except for a few minor modifications. Over the next few years I plan on beefing her up to around 500 horsepower with a brand new engine and upgraded components to handle all of the power. I will either go with a DART block or the Boss 302 block for my engine swap just in case I want to go with forced induction either of those blocks would be able to withstand the pressure. Apart from the engine I also want to do a 5-lug conversion and upgrade my brake system (brembo "Big brake" if able), lower it about 2", and put a stronger rear-end on the back. These are just the main modifications I want to make and hope it all comes out as good as I imagine. Please comment with your suggestions and thoughts to let me know what you think.

The GT looks VERY clean and I think what you plan is exciting. I love chrome. What are your plans to add some chrome, if at all? Maybe with the 5-lug conversion you add chrome wheels (if the budget allows, of course) :-)

The “Car Guy’s Garage”

Step inside a place like this and you can almost hear the echoes of every wrench turned and every engine fired back to life. The light hums off the old signs, Route 66, Coca-Cola, Phillips 66, and the smell is that unmistakable mix of oil, leather, and stories. This isn’t just a garage. It’s a…
