jthom095 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I just bought a Nalle GT from my old boss. He got it from a guy in richmond VA. After that the trail goes cold and I dont know the serial number. Keep in mind the front is setting high because of the lack of engine/trans. Also I am pretty sure i will do away with the ugly cowl. The original shleby didnt have one and i dont really like it. May keep it but lower it... not sure. I have a LQ9 (steel block LS6) 6.0L v8 to go into it and will prob be backed up by a 4l65. Im alos looking to do a 300zx turbo rear end swap and keep it 4 wheel independent. In case you cant tell im thinking resto-mod. All the speed and all the handling. But here it is on the flatbed just got it home... http://s1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb382/jthom095/?action=view¤t=0826101201.jpg photobucket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I just bought a Nalle GT from my old boss. He got it from a guy in richmond VA. After that the trail goes cold Since they were made in Richmond, that probably is the end of the trail.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhm Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Pretty cool....looking forward to seeing your build. (I'm right down the road, so I'm actually looking forward to seeing it in person!) Good luck with it and be sure to post your progress. r/John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinhZXT Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 What's your boss's name? I have 6 of these kits in my garage now. I have Tom Nalle's contact info. I talked to him a couple of times and he was very surprised that his creation still exist. Email me and we can talk more about the history of these cars. GL with it.

jthom095 Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 thanks guys. Im still in the parts collecting phase. I have one short build ahead of this one and then the cobra goes in the shop. Vinh, are you still running the R-180 rear end. I am looking out for a r200 LSD and a 6 speed. I was considering looking for a aluminum 6.0 block but they are so expensive.

GOTHALOSISM Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 You can get LS1's with the T56 pretty cheap nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy from Oz Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 With my 250 GTO kit I installed the diff from a Pontiac GTO but the diffs in the G8 are even better - an all aluminium casing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sq_creations Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 This looks like a fun project. Good luck with the build. If you already have the Iron 6.0 just run with it. It is a very stout block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
