Chevelle Engine Swap

Mickey Thompson drag radials sound like they are in your future. If we can make it on the same weekend, you are free to make a pass with mine, they will fit, I intentionally left the rear end in factory dimensions to take the mystery out of rim choice. 4.5" back spacing 275 x 60 x15 tuck up real nice, probably could go a little bigger on a custom rim.

I run the same size tire and back spacing.

I think I'll drop air pressure to about 20 and see if I can get the bfg's to hook first. I'll get some Mickey thompsons eventually.

I played that game for a long time I ran a high 14 second pass once with smoke still coming off the tires, full track haze. Tires are everything, treat yourself. And street driving on drag radials is not an issue at all, unless its raining, then 30 mph max. Had mine on for years, they last.

Hey Vic, is your engine running v belt or serpentine? I'm having trouble keeping the power steering belt on.

Here's a quick clip with my friend giving his son a ride. His son likes old musclecars.
