Ok, I'm building the 51 Dodge business coupe, slowly. It's in the build section. Some friends are starting a top ten, heads up, grudge race deal so that sparked some interest. I'm taking the 8.5 10 bolt, triangulated 4 link out, the Rocket strike wheels and selling them. Going to go 4 bar, coil overs, and use a 8.8 31 spline explorer rear end, With 3 in out of the long side, centered pinion, I'll have a 56 1/2 total rear end. I'm going to put my 496 BBC, 400 turbo in it. Now for the advice, what manual gear box will bolt on to this 79 nova subframe? I'll be running a 15x4 wheel so it shouldn't be that bad to steer. The biggest thing I need is what would you all recommend on the rear wheel openings? I'll tub it but would you tuck all the tire under or cut the opening? I thought of cutting it and welding a lip around it using a 15x10 gasser style slotted wheel. Maybe its me but I don't think the rear opening matches the front on these cars. It's kinda fugly looking in the rear wheel openings. I thought of giving them a gasser type look but don't want to screw them up. Look at the pics in my build thread and give me your opinion. With no back seat I can weld in a nice 8 point cage. This heads up thing should be a lot of fun and I don't really want to beat on my chevelle, so the dodge will be my candidate. They require it to be street legal, insured, DOT tires and through the exhaust. All the cars are 70's, 80's and 90's, so this old car will be different and pretty neat. Give me your thoughts and ideas!
