American Racing torque thrust 2's... 20's in the rear and 18's in the front.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-03-2010, 11:24 PM

I want to do that to my 40 also. But I don't think I'll be able to get wheels that big on it yet.

Yea, I know 20's will fit on mine for sure. I am also going to do a 2" drop spindle in the front, with a disc brake conversion.
Should give me the stance I want.

Nice car. I think 65's are my favorite. I really like the look from the rear on those cars. Personally I like em with the Cragars or the Corvette style rally's. Thats probably because thats what they ran on em in the 70's in my HS days.

nicke · 11-10-2010, 12:56 PM

Yea, the Cragars I have on it now look nice... I am just looking for a more modern look...

63chevyll · 11-10-2010, 01:11 PM

I love driving it, so much fun with a 250 6 cly

nicke · 11-20-2010, 07:26 PM

Thanks! I just put the #matching 327 back in it. I will post pics soon!

Very cool!

nicke · 11-30-2010, 05:59 PM

Here is one...

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-30-2010, 07:43 PM

That looks good! Only thing I'd change, is ditch that flex fan!

haha...why no flex fan?

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-01-2010, 04:16 PM

Because they suck.

They are notorious for tossing blades, and they aren't as efficient as a clutch type fan. Plus they are always on, engaged.

Oh, good call. I got it because it is about 30 lbs lighter than the 4 blade hunk of metal that was there before. If it throws a blade anytime soon, I will put a fan with a clutch on there.

careful, if it throws a blade it can damage your hood.

Does that happen often? I have never heard that it was even an issue worth considering...
