Re: backspacin

5x5" bolt pattern. 8" wheel w/a 4" BS works well on 67 ~ 72's.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

GM cars are 5x4.75 (mid size vehicles) & 5x5 (large/HD vehicles). Trucks (1/2-ton & up) have 5x5 (2wd), 6x5.5 (vintage or 4wd), & 8-lug (3/4-ton & up.
