I don't see 2" being able to fit, you might be able to get 1-7/8" to fit but will be very close

Stil waiting on my rods but went to the machine shop Friday and they got the blcok bored decked honed. When ever i get the rods it should only take a few days to get the motor back. I am going to try to get the air ride mini tub and florrs done this week

So i decided to go with a 01-04 fuel tank and was looking at pump. do you think a single Aremotive 340 stealth would get the job done or do i need to go to dual gt pumps or what? I want something quiet reliable and reasonable priced. I will probably be 450-500hp when all said and done and in a year or two maybe adding 200 shoot on nitrous.Also any one have any info on running dual pump do you use a stock has or go aftermarket?

Got my tank today and started on my offset control arms. I built a jig i am building a set to clear 12" rim and a 345/40/17 tire.
86 tank against the new 03 tank.
86 tank against the new 03 tank.
Looks like the old tank was missing its plastic shield. The new one will be nice to work with.

Believe it or not it was on it but had a bunch of rocks between it and the tank.

Ok i don't normally bad mouth places but oh my freaking god DSS is a joke i have been waiting for eagle h beam rods Thursday will be 6 weeks now. The have told me three different time now that they would ship and have failed to now i am asking for a refund and then i get to go somewhere else and order them and the cheapest i can find them is $650. Dss made pistons and shipped them to me two weeks ago and you can't get a freaking set of rods to me WTH. I will never buy anything else from them or refer anyone to them. Ok i am done i was hoping to get the motor back for this weekend so i could get it fit in the car and see what i needed to do guess that is not going to happen.

So while i wait on that i was looking at wheels and came across these Foose wheels I think they would look really good in a 20x12 rear with a really deep dish and a 18x8 up front what do you guys think the car will be 04 viper red.
I think they will look awesome. 20x12 is going to put you in the 315 to 335+ range on width. With the work you've done in the well area, they should fill it up nicely. I went the other direction, in that I'm going with a wide body kit. I will be interested to see them mocked up. The 18x8 should put you comfortably into the 275 range, which make for great steering. Nice choice.

It would actually bee a 345 25 20 in the rear. With that much meat in the rear i think i am going to have to rethink my brakes in the rear. I was going to run a 11" rotor and single 38mm caliper i think i may go to a 13" and twin 45mm now.
I haven't seen 345s on the back of a fox without a wide body kit. I've seen 335s with mini-tubs and cut and rolled finders that were really tight. Have you measured? I agree that with that much wheel in the back, small breaks will look a bit ricey.

Ordered my rods from Jegs this time hope to have them soon. I think i am going to run a master cylinder under the dash and not have anything penetrating the fire wall other then the steering shaft and throttle cable.
