From: Wilmington DE, Drive it like you stole it, 68 327 4 speed coupe
the problem comes from the older wheel 66/67& 68, BTW, the hub had a notch in it for the bottom spoke of the wheel, the 69 & up doesnt. you will have to mod your hub slightly to get it to fit right. other that that though, giddy up
this is a 67 hub, you can see the notch at te 7 oclock position
dont know about more leg room , but the wheel will be closere to you lap for sure,
I sort of climb into my 68

Unfotunately not, Ive never done it nor have i seen it done,
and as far a using a 67 hub, you would also have to change the horn set up to account for the older style, shouldnt be impossible as long as tyou have all the right pices, but like i say I never put much thought into it.
I like the grant wheel aboyve, but in my case i would have to "fill" in the space to make the wheel work
cheers
