I have a solid 69 fastback that started life as a 390 Mach 1. It was a California car, with just a few small rust holes in the trunk floor (bad seal). I bought it in primer. It has sat untouched for the last 10 yrs. It will eventually have a FE heart again, but right now it has a Cleveland .
Just really want to get it back on the road this summer. Now way will it be painted, or FE powered. Just want to get the mechanicals in working order. The motor turns over by hand, but looks like it was never under power. The motor mounts are not even bolted in. I don't know what condition the motor is in, but will give it a whirl to get it running. The tires are junk on it, so to get things rolling (literally).
1) What wheel size? It has a cool set of Ansen aluminum slots on it now, 14's in the front 15's in the back. The off set on the back wheels is way off. They stick out past the fenders. If I stick with 15"s all around, what back spacing should I shoot for in the front and back? I have a good set of 235-60-15 and 295-50-15. Any way I can run these tires with the right rims?
Thanks
Paul
