    15x10 tire and rim fitment

    When you're measuring do both sides . It's a known fact that the rearend could be offset by 1/4" or more. When I did my Monte, I used Billet Specialites Street Lites 15x10 5.5" and a Frame notch/mini tub because I had 5 1/4" on one side and 5.5" on the other from the face where the wheel bolts...

    MALIBU Coil over suspension....Detroit, UMI, or Ridetech?

    I've put the Viking double adjustable coil overs on the front of mine. The install was easy and rides better then the lowering springs. I'm currently installing the rears, but with the Quick Performance 9" the lower brackets don't fit. I'm presently making a set of lower brackets.

    Nw Bushing Lifters From Isky

    Isky Cams is a great company. When I first had my engine built (early 2009), I used the Red Zone lifter in it. I didn't get the car back together until early 2017. I put about 200 miles on it and lost 5 lifters. My builder sent them back to Isky to check out. Come to find out they had multiple...

    Battery relocation

    Since he said he was going to race the car, he needs a cutoff switch to cut all power to the car to shut it off. Wiring the alternator to a junction point in the glove box will charge the system, but will still feed power to the car after the cutoff switch is shut off. You have to be able to...

    Need a Starting Point for 1987 Monte Carlo SS - BBC project

    When I did mine, I tried the hooker competition headers from my 69 Chevelle. One side fit fine the other side, I would of needed to cut about 3/4" off the lower control arm bracket. Those headers had 2' tubes and I'm not sure of which model number they were. Even that being said my 2241's, I...

    9" ford

    I didn't have any problems with the factory wheels or a old school rallies wheels. I think the problem lies in the Billet Specialites 15" wheels, as their design doesn't take in the possibility of larger brakes. The only option they gave me was to use a wheel with 7" of backspace. So what brake...

    9" ford

    I also had Wilwood 12" brakes on mine when I first put it together. The stock 15" wheels fit fine. After I notched the frame, I bought 15" Billet Specialites Street lites with 5.5" backspace and they would not clear the calipers. I ended up with a package from Aerospace Components rear Pro...

    How Much Frame Notch to Fit 15x10’s?

    You really need to measure, the depth of the wheel well and the flange or face of axle to frame. When I did mine, I had 11.25" on one side,11.5" on the other, from wheel lip to the inside of the well. Also 5.5" from flange to frame. With that a rim with 5.5" bs would hit the stock frame. I run...
