I'm also a little confused as to why you need a tub to fit 275's unless the offset and geometry of the 4 link is way out. Aren't the stock tyres 275's? You'd be looking at something over 300 wide if you're going to the trouble of tubs.
Because they're taller? Or the drag wheel offset is quite different to the street wheels?
Lurve those big tires!
Only reason I could think as to why a 275 drag tyre wont fit would be due to lack of camber change on compression with the 4 link set up, which is good to know if that's the case as I have been contemplating a similar conversion. I currently run a 28 inch tall 275 M&H drag radial on my VE with the guards rolled and on full compression its close to the outer guard.
Way cool project, cant wait to see it finished.
OK Time for an update.
The gearbox is still "in transit" although we were told it will be delivered this week.
The engine will be built over the next few weeks.
Supercharger will be ordered early this week although it has a 2-4 week lead time. I'm not concerned about that as it is one of the last major components.
Terry is aiming to have everything ready by the time the supercharger arrives.
Sounds like it's all coming together well Dan.
Looking forward to seeing the end result!
At long last, the gearbox has arrived safely in Toowoomba.Powerglide.JPG
Yes a a good built Glide is the best auto for that power combo!
