Cade picked out the wheels he wants last night so now all I have to do is to figure out how to pay for them. For a street strip truck would you guys go 4 or 6 inches wide in the front? I am gonna run a skinny volkswagon type tire.

Re: DJ JR's Build Thread
 
Good luck with a 5x5 narrower than 7" unless you order them from centerline or get a p/n from centerline. And go thru summit.
At least it was that way last time i was looking for new wheels.
and your guys build looks great.

You have to love a Dumb AZZ parts guy. I ordered a water pump for a 67 corvette with a 427 and the A-holes sent me a small block water pump. I have a long Chrome Water pump
but All my brackets are for a short pump. I wanted to mock up the brackets but I have to have the pump first.

There just trying to convert you Kevin,, one part at a time :)

djracer 08-12-2011 06:46 AM

Re: DJ JR's Build Thread
 
I have owned several of both and I like a good small block for a street vehicle. BUT The old saying there is no replacement for displacement holds true. If you want to go fast for less cash buy a FAT MOTOR!

Was it O'Reilly Auto Parts? Dad went back and forth with them 3 times untill he got the right one.... that worked. Even gave us one with reverse flow! What tha frig? Autozone is getting just as bad. If it isn't on the computer they have no clue. Cross reference this cross referance that...
Never had any trouble with Summit or Jegs!

Makes you wanna Hulk Out
