They are 6 1/4 backspace. Also my rear is narrower than stock.

Don't the front wheels rub on the fender and then on the frame when the wheel is cranked all the way (either left or right) ?

No, With the 275's on the front it doesn't rub anywhere.

I used to have a faceplated T56 in my RX7. Good stuff!

It was my daily driver. If you search under my name in the manual transmission forum you can read my whole write up.

Just read thru that... Thanks for the link. I actually bought mine from Fitz98ta in that thread after his car got wrecked.

Can't wait to get to drive this thing.

Which mounts are those? I would like a set

Also how much did you trim off the truck pan to clear the steering linkage?

I have a ctsV pan but havnt decided which one i want to hack up for my swap.

I built these mounts myself. THey put they engine closer to the firewall than everyone else's.

I only shortened my pan height wise. It clears the steering stuff as the engine is farther back.. Ill get a picture of it when i go back out to the shop.

Those are very nice, indeed. Would you be willing to share the deminsions? I can make them. I will be using the truck intake for now as it shouldnt hurt much with boost. It would be great no to have to cut the oil pan, thats for sure. I would like the easy part to be getting the engine in so i can started on the hot pipes.

I am running 6 cyl springs in the front and had clearance enough for a SBC 7 qt pan. I was thinking id even have enough room for the truck pan.

Ordered my cam yesterday from texas speed. 229 236 .624 .615. Also ordered the rest of my gauges, mufflers shifter handle and a bunch of other odds and ends.

The truck pan hangs low. I trimmed about 1.5 inch of the bottom. It is the lowest part on my car. I don't see anyway you could run it without shortening it.
