Wanting advice
I need some advice. I am thinking of getting a 1975 Vette. I want to swap the engine with a LS6 and richmond six speed trans. Eventually I want to install a Magnacharger and side pipes. Will this fit and what problems could I expect? What is the widest rim I can put on the rear? I love the looks of the American Racing Tourque Thrust II's, is this a good choice? Also, what drag radial do you suggest? Obviously this all won't happen at once but, I am just trying to get my ducks in a row, before I waste a bunch of money for something that my not work. Oh, I want a 1975 because, that is the year I was born and they are a bit cheaper than say...any pre 72's

Although, was the look I was after. The tires are 255/50/17's

is there any web links that has a step by step swap? Where do you get the offset trailing arms? I want to get 500+ RWHP when all said and done. I don't race much but want the power if and when I do go to the track. Does anyone have side pipes with the LSx setup? How does it sound?
