As i will wait to shorten the 8 3/4 on my 63 do you think it will run a 9" slick on the intrepid rim(40mm offset) with out cutting or does the cutting comence? Here are some pics that show how wide it is. ![]() ![]() I'm not against cutting the car just if it can be done without it I'll do it that way! TF |

Hi Tristan: You can easily move the existing leaf springs inward and that will give you lots of wheel opening room for the 9". You will find there is a lot of "top side" room in the opening so you can go to a 26-28" in height with problem. No need to cut or tub....Is it cold in Reno??? Later, Wayne |

Hi Tristen , good deal, is the transmission fixed? a friend of mine was going to buy it but waited too long . The owner claimed it ran 12s, but we thought 1/8 mile. If you need a tranny i just removed the one from the 64 to install a later model with a higher stall. Its free if you need it,just have to come and get it.my 69 had a wide b body 8 3/4 with 95 minivan 16x7 wheels and 27 tall x 10 sidewall tires fit great. I agree with Wayne ,no cutting required. |

Hey Sergio, The ladie started to yap about 11's and I asked if it was 1/8th mile thats when she said "Well close to 11's"... I know better than that. The engine is built way beyond what i have in my car,and i run high 16's at 3500#. I think they put the motor in without the adaptor ring for the tranny! If not i will get in touch. Didn't mean to steal it from under any one! TF |
