Too bad they only make them in 18" otherwise that is what I wanted to run new style old shcool.

So the second choice, as of now, is the GZ3.

Are you going for 17's I assume? Please don't tell me 19's...

Compromise brother its PT, not Lemans form over function.

Either 18/19 or 19/20 remember this is a big car and without a decent height tire in the rear it just won't look right. Welcome to PT vs full race. More unsprung weight. On the other hand a larger diameter tire does offer a bigger contact patch.

These mock up pics were with a 335 30 20. 28" tall.

I forgot your car was a land barge. A bigger wheel definitely works.

Lemans? No. Here's what I'm talkin bout Willis.

I think you meant this

Same diff. Love those old Torinos. Can you make yours look like that please?

Why am I talking smack? My car is gonna take about as long as yours to get on the road.

Add a seat to that bench.

Phil shot me a picture of my old 390 mocked up in the chassis. We had traded some cad photos and measurements of dry sump pans so Phil could confirm which pan would fit and where it would put my motor in the chassis. Here the motor is moved back and down from stock relative to the body.



So I'm sold on going with Bill Daileys billet integrated pan and pump. Monday I'm buying one and having it sent to Phil for final mock up so RS can finish the motor mounts. With his pan the motor can drop close to 2" lower in the chassis. The bottom of this pan is only 1.8" below the pan rail on teh block.


If I haven't said it already Phil and the group at the RS are really a pleasure to deal with. In addition to the amazing work they do on every project even a lowly Torino.

Dude. I now have dry sump envy. Thanks.
