On the wheels, I was thinking of going with 8 and 275 on the front and 10 and 295 on the rear but now I don't know. Does yours scrub any on the front? (I have 275 tires on all four now....stock rallies) Looks like you have 255 on the front?

Can't wait to get mine back on the road. We've got to get together and take some pics of them together when I do. They look like twins lol


As far as the cam......Long story short is

The cam is in along with a few other things.
One thing lead to another and I just did a complete rebuild. Had a cracked head(882 head..didn't surprise me), needed a new timing gear and chain and the cylinder walls were out just enough that I thought it needed boring. Thought I might as well do it right and be done with it.
Bored it .30 over and put some flat top pistons in it with a xe268 comp cam etc.
I think everything is new except the block, crank and one head.
Wasn't expecting to spend that much on it so it has slowed down my progress lol
She is almost ready to drop in though! Just stopped by Harrington's after work this morning and picked up the stall converter. They market this cam as one not needing a stall but Chris said I would need just a liitle more than the stock one. Said it would make me happier at the stop lights and it wasn't very expensive.
Headers are next on the never ending list
I PM'd you Robbie
