I ended up ordering the 7" wide and I'll run a 205 tire, just like what's on there. Based on my measurements it should fit almost identical to exactly what's on there now.

So new update. I've found the ability to get the wheels sooner. much sooner. I just need to know what to do about the front wheels. My choice is either a 15x4 with 1.75" BS or a 15x7 with a 4" backspace. I was planning on going with the 15x4 but I'm a little concerned tha tthe car will be...

Ok fellas I need some advice and insight here. I've got a 73 dart that's been mini-tubbed, including the outer fender well to allow the 315 tires that I have to fit under the rear end and up into the wells. I'm moving the springs and of course narrowing the rear. My plan is to get the car as low...

After some reading I think I'm going to narrow the rear. It will save weight and the deep dish wheels will look much better.

So let me ask what might be a stupid question. But once I move my springs and do my mini tubs, how do I know if I need to narrow the rear. Obviously if I had wheels already I could just measure. If I put the tires where I want I will probably get a good idea. I realize the wheels will bring the...

I won't be painting it. It's got great paint on it already.

I really think this is the way I'm going to go. Was it you Hemi who picked up that duster out of Akron a few years back with the 4 link and 325s and 4 speed? I believe it was from a military member.

That's not bad at all. I can't imagine that was too bad of a job to do. So did you not weld to the quarter then? I hope you don't mind if I PM and ask a few questions. You really have it sitting like I'd like to. Any pics from the rear of the car?

That's exactly the kind of look I'm going for! What size wheel are you running. I'm assuming you narrowed the rear? It looks like it in the photo. Did you run your tubs all the way to the quarter? And are those 15s?

If I may ask, can you guys tell me what the best wheel width would be for the size tire? 15x10?

Yes sir.

You guys are awesome! I've got a great direction to go. I think I will start by moving the leafs in and moving the perches. After that I think I'll get the wheels and tires I want to run and try and tuck them up in. If they don't go, I'll go to a mini-tub. I'll roll the fender lip up in no...

That's what I was thinking. This is largely a boulevard brawler. I'm not going bracket racing. But right now the 245s won't put the power down. They spin like crazy. Great for smokey burnouts. Not so much for coming off the line. I think it all comes down to if I need to narrow the rear end and...

Yes it's a 8 3/4. I believe it's a B body rear. I'm trying to keep this a low budget as possible of course as this is mostly a street car I want to have some fun with. But I know I will have to spend some money. Yes I can weld and do fab work very regularly. I have a good MIG and a TIG. The only...

Thanks for the good info guys. I'm just getting rolling with this but I want to try and get it done sooner than later before other projects get in the way. I run a european performance garage and right now is our slow season except for a few long term projects. I really want to get the tire up...

So I've decided against a a manual swap in my 73 Dart sport, and since my motor and trans are setup for drag, I've decided to head in a "pro-street lite" direction as I'm calling it. Mini-tubs, the widest tires I can stuff back there, relocating the springs etc. I'm possibly going to add a...

Can someone on this forum who keeps telling me that 4 speed mopar boxes are 100-250 show me where? I've yet to see one under 600. And that includes the "OD boxes nobody wants" as I was told in the last thread. 250 for abody pedals, bell, linkage, z-bar, hump, shifter etc? $50 for a 340 flywheel...

Mainly because I didn't build this motor. I bought it in a drag car that I was planning on putting on the street. keep in mind this was a long long time ago. The car was too ugly to drive on the street honestly. It was an 81 Mirada. So I swapped it into a 318 dart sport. That was 5 years ago...

Again great info AJ. I Won't probably ever quarter mile this car. I might 1/8 it once, if ever. I'm swapping the trans because a 3 speed 727 is boring and with the 3.91 that im currently running I can't even begin to think about putting it on the highway. I just want a car that's fun to drive...

AJ, whew. How does one reply lol. Thanks for your response. I've had a couple people who come in and say "no way I'd run that transmission it's stupid". And that's it. No facts no supporting info. So thanks for so much information. After all that it would be pretty foolish to continue with my...

No. An AX15 is a 10 spline. 833 were either 18 or 23.

Pilot bearing is the same. It's all good there. It's in an auto car and I don't plan to use 4 speed linkage. I will fab a hydro master and pedal setup, probably using wilwood components. Southbend clutch is willing to build me clutch kit. I just need the flywheel. So I just need to know what...

it's a 340 that's externally balanced. It's going into a 73 Dart. I've done a fair amount of research on it, and while I would prefer a T56, a 5 grand trans isn't in my budget. People criticize the drop from 1st to second but I've got a car with almost the exact same drop and it works out just...

Ok guys. I've got a bit of a newbie question here. What determines my flywheel? I'm swapping an AX15 behind a small block. It came off of a 3.9 Dakota and I am using that bell as well. They have a different flywheel. The engine in the car uses a 130 tooth with a 10.5" clutch diameter surface...

Well my ax-15 isn't from a jeep. It's an Asin Warner bell. It came from a 4.0 Dakota. It bolts directly to the 340. There's a couple of guys on here running them that really like them. As far as the pedal and hydraulics are concerned Im planning to use a wilwood pedal and master since I'm a...

Well I'm hoping to sell the 727 since it was built for drag according to the guy I bought it from. But we've all heard that before. It's got a B&M flex plate so they did something half way decent. It looks like this may have been a 4-speed engine at one point as it has a pilot bushing in the...

Funny how that worked...transmission comes out a lot easier when you unbolt the converter. It's out and now the real work begins...the 5 speed conversion.

Well aren't I embarrassed. You guys nailed it. What a complete rookie bonehead move on my end. I built this car 5 years ago when I knew a lot less about working on cars. I should know better! Thanks for the great answers guys!

Hey guys. I need some veteran assistance. I'm trying to remove the 727 behind my 340 in my 73 dart sport. I'm very mechanically inclined. I work in a European speed shop. But this is my first time pulling this trans away from this motor in this car. The trans is split from the motor and free of...

Sire is correct on the balancer, I put my scope behind it and I think I see a bal-ncer. But the performance products site says 72 external balanced and the motor is a 73...
