Default Turning radius
I’m hoping this doesn’t get me in trouble with the membership. I have purchased a complete C5 drivetrain out of a 2000 corvette to go underneath my 1939 Chevy. Having the cradle narrowed to fit under the car but trying to figure out how much room I’m going to need between the fenders and the tires in terms of turning radius. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

You'll require some gauging and measuring, to figure that one

Are you just trying to figure out how far the stock size tire moves?
I could go measure mine in the garage, turn all the way left, measure, then turn all the way right and tell you how far it moves.
