I know the track width of the later Tempests and varients (64-67) is approx. 59". Fender flares or custom rims might be needed to make the difference in track width work for the swap.
I've got the numbers at the shop. Don't remember off the top of my head. The setup will work with 7.5" added to the tube length and custom 17" steel wheels... I'm sticking with poverty caps! I'm looking at integrating the majority of the frame as well, but will need to get my hands on a chassis to be sure I can make it work.
