If 4.5 hit the frame the 5 is gonna put even more wheel under the car. He's saying with a 4.5 he had to space the wheel almost w half inch away from the frame to get it to fit.

Thanks man. So to eliminate spacer roughly a 4 inch backspace woulda worked. I want that same size tire and look for my car.

Awesome build! I've got a quick question. In the very first pic you posted on pgevon of this thread. What size wheel/ tire is on the rear and what offset? Thanks

Well.. Took a break from working on the motor this past week because I had a tire that kept going flat and I realized it was siting against the frame rail. I had just put 275/60s on the rear, and when I installed them, they seemed to clear. As far as I could tell it was bc the air shock on that...

Got my rockers on and all the valves set. Used an indicator on the cylinder #1 so I could see what it felt like when the valves went into a negative lash since I've never done this before. Got number one set right, then went by feel from there on out. No up and down play, when I felt resistance...

Thanks for the tip. I'll def get the line. This is my first build so I just figured that was how it was suppose to be.

More progress. I got the valves on #1 and #8 set. I'll be back at it again in the morning.

Here's a pic of the intake after I cleaned it up.

I was gonna go to a high rise single plane, somethin like a victor jr, but the cam manufacturer says this cam likes a dual plane intake. So, since I already have the performer and the car probably needs a lil help on the low end due to the current stall speed, I just decided to reuse it. Took it...
