If you end up sticking with the 472 and using a FI system, let me know how it works out. Thinking of doing that to my 500 that's going in my Nova.

Good luck great to see other G-bodys here, I look for a craze of these body styles becoming hugely popular with the price of early muscle cars going out of site, keep us posted heres a few of mine was planing on pro touring it, but sold it for my 48 chevy pro street man i miss that torque fun car

I think the 10 point front to back cage, with maybe a couple additional points will take the twist out of the frame.

its got poly mounts right now, thinkin about solid AL. anyone got a Good source? the wheels are 16x8 third gen Firebird wheels (about 21LB's a peice, and got em for 200 bucks) and they should work for now

leaning more towards the 1970 472 caddillac i got. talked to Potters performance a couple times, thinkin about destrokin the cad to 3.900, and boring it out to 4.440, with some fancy rods, and pistons

a full shaft rocker system, and a custom cam. with injection of course. dare to be different huh ?

oh yea, color will be semi flat black with a matte clear, so it will look pretty flat.

if you do run solid mounts the roll cage will sure stiffen it up nice... i had mine done where they didi the frame off.. ill give them a call and see if they cant make another set.. but if i were you id make a bunch in delrin or aluminum.. im sure marcus at sc&c could sell a bunch for you.. or you could try www.dixiemontecarlodepot.com he also has a thing for cornering g-bodys
