Live the dream, or don't, your choice...
Yeah that's different. I can't even remember what the sizing on the back was, like a 315 75 or something. Truck did not spin those tires ever, I imagine your sidekick had trouble too

Yeah, I timed myself 0 to 60 before the engine swap, 19 seconds. Being an open diff, it would spin one if I dumped the clutch. Did have 5.12s tooYeah that's different.

Yeah, I swapped members to a welded posi with 4.30s, and with 3 times the original hp she cooks tires now5.12's , nice.
I didn't have a clutch, and neutral drop on a old th350 may have been a bad idea
I'm not wanting to go super low in the front, originally I was planning on about a 4/6, but I think I'm gonna start with a 3/5 and see how everything fits. I went with 2" drop spindles, and I cut a half loop out of the stock springs and am going to see how it sits once the big block is in, i'm thinking it will be close to 3". I don't want to cut too much off since I got 275 60 15s for the front because I don't like the look of the tiny wheels and just want to make sure nothing rubs. The stock springs need to be compressed quite a bit from the looks of it, a few inches at least to be able to hook the ball joints up to the spindle.
