By the way, I don't know if the 73 up axles are wider than the 71-72, but I have 295's on my 20x10 with 5.5" backspacing on my factory 71 rear axle housing and it clears just fine. It's about as much as I can comfortably do before I get nervous about rubbing either inside or outside. My pan-hard bar had to be adjusted to make sure it was all centered too, but I have about 1/2" clearance all around.
The 71-72 5-lug housings are the same width as 73-87's.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
