Road Runner Nest

Any one planning on going to this next weekend (sept 23-25) in Indianapolis?

Not sure of what you have but for the motor I am building (stroked 400 to 470 - 600ish HP)I was told that a 2x4 set up would be around 50-75 HP less than a good single 4bbl. The intakes for the 400 2x4 set up are the cause for this. Not sure how the 6bbl set up compares.

I will agree with that! Mike knows his $#!+ and builds great motors. I am talkig to him about building me a 470 for a new project. Great guy to deal with!!!

The turn signals on my 72 RR are not working. For a while they would sometimes work (normally it was while turning right and when I wiggled the lever a few times). Now they don't ever work. My flashers do work and all bulbs are working. I have replaced the flasher and can hear it flashing when I tur...

You should checkout Gionni's car!

It's an original tuff wheel. I got it fixed, it does just pull straight off.

I have a horn that it not working and I have checked everything but the button. Does the plastic button just pull off? All I could find so far was an istallation guide from Grant that makes it sound like I just need to pull it off.

I forsee a small road trip in my near future. thanks for the tip.

should...i was at work filling in for a guy whose dad died and i was driving from one hick town to another and saw it sitting in a driveway just feet from the highway...so as long as they didn't move it, i should be able to snap some pics. it is kind of like spotting a unicorn - i'm always lookin f...

Just got mine measured: My rim is a 17x9 with 5" backspacing. Don't know offset Tires are 275/40 --- sidewall to sidewall it is just about 11" wide. Outside of tire just clears the lip on quarters, inside there is 1 3/4" between tire and leafs. Will yours fit?? I am thinking it will. But I would see...

I will go out and measure mine this weekend for you. I will see how much backspacing I have and how much room on each side of tire. I will also see what my tread/sidewall widths are.

From what I have been told by different tire professionals 275 tires need atleast a 9" rim (atleast for 17" rim with 40 series tires). If that same holds true for the 15" rim ... mmmmmmmmmm i have on my 71 gtx 275 60 15 on 15 x 7 ralley wheels so why do i need a 9 rim for 275 60 15 :shock: I guess ...

From what I have been told by different tire professionals 275 tires need atleast a 9" rim (atleast for 17" rim with 40 series tires). If that same holds true for the 15" rim then you would have to step up to a 10" wide since they don't make a 15x9 in that style. The problem with the 10" wide is the...

I would do a 9" wheel. I don't think an 8" would work. I have 275 on mine and they told me I would need to go with a 9" wheel. From looking at mine I would say there is room for 295. That is what I wanted but I ran into the same problem, no one knew how big you could go when I got mine almost 2 yrs ...
