We have a 373. The drag radials are 28" tires. The height of the ones on there right now, I am not exactly sure. Here is another link to a post where we were talking about the tires and rims.

Well, today a full billet 200-4R from CK Performance was bolted into the car which of course created 50 other issues (well 3 to be exact.) The exhaust no longer fits as the cross-member now interferes with the x-pipe. The driveshaft (previously used in a TH350...) which everyone said would work, needs to be shortened by a couple inches as currently it is jabbed all the way into the transmission and has no room for movement when the suspension is compressed. Lastly, we had a small issue with the lock up switch wiring. Hopefully those will be sorted out tomorrow and the car will be on the road by this weekend.

Also, while the transmission was out I finally had the mini-started from DB electrical swapped out as it has been sitting on my shelf for the better part of a year.

That's all for today

Thanks Gary! I am quite happy with it. I love the Red and Black Chevelles but don't come across as many Forest Greens. It was originally Misty Turquoise but I am partial to the darker colors.

I am actually hoping to take it out for a drive today. Yesterday I actually opened the garage door and looked at it.

For the past few days I've been detailing her up and cleaning all the nooks and crannies. I'm one of those anal virgo types who likes everything clean. LOL
