I ran 245/60-15s all around on a '70 with no problems, but the wheels were 15x7. Those tires were the same height as the originals, so the speedo even read correctly.

I bought a remanufactured NAPA pump that has the cast impeller. I wonder if the "new" pumps would be stamped instead. Also looked at an Autozone pump with cast impeller.

No, the Nova shroud is not the same. I found that out when I swapped my 400 into a Nova. The Pontiac ended up offset to the passenger side, so a full size fan won't fit. I found a Ventura shroud,...

I got a U-joint several years ago to adapt a GM driveshaft to a Mopar rearend. I think I bought it at Carquest, but it was a NAPA part.

RRGTO,

I just did some figuring about your speedo gears. If I'm right, you will still read about 12 mph fast with the 45 tooth side gear. To be accurate, you'd need even more teeth than that,...
