as far as the oil pan goes....thats a no. and for the tranny oil pan. i'm not sure at all.the rear diff. cover won't fit either....you have a 7.5" rear and the gt's have a 8.8" rear. and if i'm not mistaken...i think your gearing is 3.27. thats what i have and mines an 87

Depending on your transmission, you probably have 3.45 gears if it's a 5 speed or 3.73's if it's an auto.

I have an aluminum valve cover (from an 87 Tbird I got off ebay) that I'm in the process of polishing. Also got a manifold upper and t.b.(ebay)and lower(boneyard) that I am going to polish out. Check out www.50resto.com for chrome stuff for the engine compartment, that is generic for 2.3 and 5.0.

So I guess you live by the old adage "If it don't go, chrome it"
