they fit with no mods. i don't have AC so i got a little more clearance, so i can pull these both out from the top of the car. they slide in like a glove. to me, this is the best platform to have one of these engines in. everything is super easy to get to! for $950, they better damn fit!

they fit fine. i've had a 29x9 hoosier slick in there before without too much mods. i've done the BFH mods to it already and with this deep backspacing, i cut out the bump stops. i have tons of room. i'm thinking of going up to a 295/65/15 later.

i'll take some good ones for you tomorrow evening or so. i work 9-7 tomorrow so i'll try to get some before the sun goes down, or before i go into work. i used the f-body accessories, and from what i understand, they're the only ones that'll work (easily) in the thirdgens. i'm not running power steering or ac though, just an alternator and water pump so my belt routing is a little different than what you'll normally see.
