So if you have 4-7/8 backspace on a 8in rim that would make the "front space" 4-1/8 as the overall width is 9in. So for the 7in rim whith 4-1/4" back space the "front space" would be 3-3/4in so actually sticking out 3/8in less than the 17x8 devil chicken are running so then the question is, it...

Yeah dano, I'm a bit worried about the offset beeing to small. devilchicken, are you running 245 in the front? I presume 4-7/8 backspace was a custom order?

As I'm getting the 13in brakes from dr diff on my 1971 Dart I need 17in wheels ad have been looking at the LT-III wheels from ET Mags, the 17x7 come with 4-1/4 BS. Anyone her who have this combo or similar?

I like them, really cool to see that an engine swap can be done without buying everything from the shelf.

Really cool with the DIY stuff. What is the pulley for the alternator from, was it a direct fit? Any pictures of the exhaust manifolds?

Thanks, for the pictures and backspacing info.Hope they would look as nice on my car as well.

Forgot to mention, living in Europe, so not many mustangs i the yards around here. The mustang bullit wheels would have been good if I could get them. However with the shipping from USA there won't be much savings by buying a set of used wheels compared to new ones. Use of wheel spacers should...

I'm upgrading to 13in disc brakes and would therefore need 17in wheels to clear the brakes. Not realy a fan of 17in wheels but the torque trust seem to be the most periode correct when it comes to looks. Anyone who use them who could recomend which width that would fit best? 17x7 or 17x8? Will...

Yeah, thinking of the GENIII hemi, but i guess the ease of instalation compared to full length seen with the small blocks would be aplicable to the GENIII as well.

Have anyone here tried the TTI shorty headers for their swap? I guess the full length are better for performance so are there an afvantage with the shorties when it comes to clearance?

Good pictures, was hoping there was a way without cutting and welding. But it looks good and now I know that I can keep the wipers.

Congrats, you look very happy in the video :) You write that you kept the Intake Runner Motor, is that on the rear of your intake like on the 5.7 truck engine? In a recent thread the interference between it and the firewall/wiper motor is mentioned, how did you solve it? This is from that thread:

I've been looking at these wheels to in 17x7 for my dart, but do they look good on a dart? Haven't been able to find a picture of a dart with those wheels in 17in. I will update to 13in discs in the future so idealy for me it would have a double bolt pattern o I can use then with my SBP and...

Got a throttle body adapter plate from EFI source to fit a LS throttle body, but the ID of it is a bit larger than the ID of the flange on my intake. Is the ID on the car intakes larger than on the trucks? I could try to "port" the intke for a smooth transition or would I be better of by making...

I have a borgeson steering box that I plan to use. Hoping to replace it next week and try it out with the original engine before I start the engine swap. Can the old power steering pump be used with the hemi? Would ofcourse have to put on a different pulley.
