Don't think so...the G-body models are narrower and have a shorter wheel base. You should have no problem find a frame/chassis for your 71 GTO

Probably not, I learned about this one the hard way. We were racing a 75 Monte carlo (G body),and after an especially bad collision we decided that a Malibu ( A body) front clip looked like it would fit. We wasted a whole saturday morning pulling the Malibu clip only to discover that while the rear fender edges matched the cowl/doors that the place where the radiator support bolted to the frame was about 6 inches short ! I would think that you may find a similar situation.

No. G is also referred to as a "stretched A-body"- for a reason.

G-body will not work, totally different rear end area as well, the frame kicks out by the wheel wells where an A-body does not. (I assume you are refering to a 78-88 G-body)

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
