Once again you have proven beyond a reasonable doubt that you have nothing better to do than post as fact statements that are incorrect.
Study the above picture, then tell me a PPPPPontiac looks like that.
I rest my case!
Now research the interchageability of LS parts. Just because they start with LT or LS does not mean they are from the same foundation and parts are interchangeable.

ok honestly from those two pictures the only difference i see is the slightly changed GTO wheels, the spoiler, and the pontiac double grille/bumper design.
the rest of the body looks identical..i like how they replaced the side markers with the GTO badge though lol

Other than the front bumper, badges and rims, the car shape IS identical.
An American from GM saw our Monaro and wanted it in the states as a pontiac. Called it a GTO which ended up being a mistake.
The Pontiac G8 released a few months ago in the US is another Holden dressed up to be a Pontiac. Made by us, with some pontiac badges stuck on and sent over.
The G8 GXP coming at the end of the year is an even better package. 7L engine, big front brakes etc.
Then the G8 ute following after (look up google images to see what a ute is)

The sound of the V8 was music. The steering was numbed for us numb mericanz, and the shifter sucked big time. but as a whole, the car was an awesome cruiser with decent MPG.

how are the brakes setup?
Hahahaha....I installed that engine! Thats Justins car (originalspaceman) on porschehybrids.com.
Im in South Bend and drove to Valpo to install it for him. Great guy. It is a GTO engine. We used a renegadehybrids kit and everything went swimmingly. Got there about noon, GTO engine was still on the stand, and had it running by nightfall. Well, the fuel pump shat on us but it ran on starter fluid. Theres a video on youtube of its first run.
Heres the video...

look into the history of the 944, and where the transmission from the 944 came from. I t is an audi TRANSAXLE from a FWD audi.
So if it is an audi transaxle is it a porsche transmission?
remember the 944 is not really a porsche, but an audi with vw parts and a porsche motor.

LT only has the 1 distributor right?
can you guesstimate approximately how much space there is around the engine? you know, if theres any room side to side to hang a pair of hairdryers etc off...

Why not just come out and ask if anyone has gotten a supercharger in there?

Uh..... with headers off theres probably 3-4 inches on each side. Why do want to know this?? With the headers on, probably an inch or so. Not sure. never really cared to know. The headers clear both sides is all we care about.
What do you wanna stick there?
Turbo? NO. Supercharger? NO. Unless you get a maggie, its all NA. Approaching 500 HP isnt good enough fer ya? hahaha.
