Awesome build Michael,

I went with an identical set of SVE Drift wheels for my 69' Road Runner. It's funny, I also had the Weiand Super Stock Intake. It wouldn't fit under my six pack hood, literally it rose above the front quarter panels without carbs (have solid engine mounts). Thanks for the inspiration with wheel selection, it's ridiculously difficult to find any info related to 17+" wheels on other Mopar forums. I wanted a Hellcat style replica wheel to match my SRT, and these seem to be the ticket. Good luck with your build!

The only reason the Weiand fits under my hood is the EFI throttle bodies are so short. The intake is supposed to fit any car that originally came w/ a 6 pack hood. Does your engine sit higher than it should? You could always go to a motor plate and drop the engine, but that would then cause several other issues. Maybe that is why my headers don't clear the steering box...

A little bit of irony there on the "Hellcat style" wheels. I bought my wheels a few months before the Hellcat was revealed, so I had "Hellcat" wheels before the Hellcat.
