I already had my wheels built and mounted (based off the ridetech specs which will not fit any other setup) on my car before running across all this information. I really wish Ridetech would have provided better information on what exactly is needed to make this setup work and not just stating a 18x10 5.75 backspace will work. There is no mention of fender modifications, header clearance requirements, oil pan/motor mount requirements, mention of its only been tested by them using Baer brakes. I honestly feel like there is not enough information provided and I searched and searched for info but never found half as much as what has been discussed in this thread.

Actually Todd told me that the new Holley/Hooker system will work with the Ridetech system with some modifications. But you must use the old Holley 302-1 pan to be able to clear the Ridetech tie rod adaptor. Then that pan must either be clearanced on the front of the pan to clear the Xmember or the Xmember must be notched to clear the pan. From what I gather the new system corrects all of the clearance and alignment issues that were prevalent with the old system. I am going to give it a try.
Don't give up yet brother. It's just a car. You'll get there. Unfortunately there are soo many options and combinations. Believe me, I'm the worlds greatest skeptic. Lol.
