I have 2 sets of ralleya, and the original steelies with the dog dish hubcaps. I'm trying to keep it stocl looking, as it's a numbers matching car with the complete build sheet. Maybe I can get a pair widened for strip runs. I'm sure I'll need some caltracs or other traction aids, too. Trying to keep it stock appearing. Thanks to all for your recommendations. Paul.

That's gutsy running a numbers matching block with those internals. It would be hard for me not to rev that motor to 7K every time I had it out. I keep my numbers matching big block motor in the basement for that very reason. I guess I'm hard on my stuff.

As far as the rear wheels go, my 408 Magnum is down right dangerous to drive on the street without a set of 275/60-15 Nitto Drag Radials on the back. The car would spin them on the freeway without them and half the time every where else.

Also, EFI and overdrive sure add and enhance a lot of drivability to my car. I can understand not wanting to cut the cross member to add OD though. Then again, if you're never going to sell the car, who cares.
