I'm refitting the motor, it was pinned against ridge of metal where floor pan plan and firewall are spot-welded together, had to shave about 3/8 of an inch off front mounts, then the other headaches come into play, steering-headers-drag link goes thru oil pan and it's all been fitted - reassembled and clearances checked. Mike

 

I'll get it jacked up and get some pic's, I have paper work stating the axle tubes were cut back 2-1/2" on each end, 4.10 gears ,reverse valve body 727- 3,000 stall converter.

 

I welded that firewall seam solid all the way across, then flattened the seam, trans still doesn`t have a whole bunch of room .

 

I'm still working on the rim backspacing I had all that information I'm trying to find it again

 

Pics of tire - rim & 1/4 panel

 

15 inch section width with 13 inch footprint. Inner wheel well to well 37-1/4 inch

now that gentlemen is what we call a measuring stick.

 

The slicks are 30/9/15 going with 29/15 which = 15 inch section width and 13 in of rubber on the road, as you can see the slicks section width = 13 inches with 9 inches of road contact. Mike

 

I'll get some pics of oil pan and how it need to be modified now that i have lowered the engine. Mike

Hell yes !! Snap on straight edge to small, 3' level to long , 30 inch 2x4 perfect !! LOL.

 

Yeah I've heard LOTS about Tim and his reputation with the hemis. Bewdley is literally 40 minutes from me. Dwight Voortsville is another hemi cuda guy close to Tim, Bewdley area as well. Wish I could pony up the $$. I'll enjoy it from the bleachers for now lol.
Subscribed and congrats on progress.
Monstrous builds in this thread, love it.

 

Hmm not sure if Dwight is trans guy or not but have met him several times and is a straight up knowledgable good guy. You've involved too notch people in this build! Kudos!

 

Oil pan was fabed, the red marking shows where it needs to be raised and will still have clearance from rods, milodon may have something that will fit, this holds 10 quart's . Mike

 

That's a dam good idea ,thanks i will do that then cut the seam away. Mike

 

Steel with hinges , Weld rear rim sku # 96-512210 15x12 x4.5 lug pattern with 5.50 back spacing , sku # on fronts 96-56208 15x6 x4.5 lug pattern with 4.50 back spacing, may go thinner on fronts, but don't want to get to skinny with that Hemi hanging out there.
