Re: tires

Yes, but it does depend some on the backspacing of your wheels. What wheels do you have? Do you know the backspacing?

Re: tires

They'll work. What are the suspension specifics? 71-72 brakes or?? Pre-70 6-lug 12bolt or post 70 5-lug 12bolt?

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.

Re: tires

I apologize, as I should have asked also if you have the narrower rear end. I am assuming you do with the backspace of 5" on the rears. You can clear that tire if you do have the narrower rear end and that backspace.
