Cut the rear bumper, move the axle back with some adjustable LCAs, roll the fender lip, lots of hammer work on the inner fenderwell. That's just to get them in there. I'm sure I'll need more work to compensate for tire growth. I have them on a 9.75" D-10 w/ about a 7.5" b/s.

I don't have a good pic from the back anymore. The car is back on drag radials now.

With 3.73 and a 27" tire in 3rd gear I would say you could get up to 140+ mph @ 6800 rpm, give or take a few mph depending on the converter and cam.

Those tires look good. The Ws that were on my car when I got it stick out each side about 4.5". My car was the most back woods looking thing I have seen.

Thanks for the comments. The car will be @ Thunder in MS/PA. Not sure how I'm gonna keep up with all these fast LS1s though.
