what size r the rear tires?

[Mrleobones]

@dozar1 The tires are 295 55 r15 Mickey Thompson Drag Radial, and they are street legal. The wheel / rims are Centerline 9" x 15" with 3.5 backspacing. They hook up really good with 25 or 28 lbs of air in them, but you can run them all the way down to about 22 lbs. of air.

i like the sound . what exhast and mufflers did u go with?

[Mrleobones]

@7119frankr Hooker super comp headers with 2" primary tubes into 2.5 inch collectors, 2.5 inch pipe going through Thrush Welded Mufflers. The thrush welded muffler is very similar to a 40 series flowmaster.

Thanks for the complements and I did allot of research before I choose my heads. I would go edelbrock. They add alot of nice features like heli coil inserts into the intake and exhaust bolt holes. I got the round port (RA IV) semi machined heads. I bought my own valves, valve springs, spring shims, rocker studs, & valve stem seals. I did this because I knew I was going to do a hydralic roller set-up. I hope you looked at all three of my videos and read captions. Wenzler also makes great heads.

Nice man! I like the 69 doors alot better as well as the lemans/tempest chrome bumper myself. I just dusted off my car and getting it ready for some cruizin! Beautiful roller motor man, I can't wait to upgrade my heads. I want to go with either KRE or Edelbrocks.
