Spray 280 I have followed your build on Turbobullet. I'm doing an almost identical LS build in a faded green 69 nova. I'm about to order V series weld wheels. Your backspace looks perfect front and rear. What wheel sizes and backspace are you using all around? Thanks a lot.

clamps.

Thanks for info , I'll check the 4" plumbing connector @ my Ace hardware that's 5 min walking distance from me , but I had 4" t bolt clamps from the air filter I bought awhile back.

No it's a 9". I bought the wheels then cut the rear to fit. I don't remember
how wide it is but could dig it up if you need it. With the minitub it has
about 1-1/2" inside & 1" outside clearance.
