Hello All-
Ok this is my first post! I have a 1966 Mustang Coupe that I'm putting a 89 5.0 HO motor in (Carburated) and 85 Police AOD Transmission. I have did the 5 lug conversion with 1968 Spindles and a 68 Rear end. At the time I redid the rear end I did not realize it was 2" longer. It is already in the car with 4.5" backspacing tires. As you can imagine the tires stick out about an inch on each side. With that being said I also have the rear end lifted 3/8inch with different leaf spring shackles. This is a rolling chassis still so my questions are:
1. Will I be able to run the set up the way it is? If so anything to look for?
2. If I decide I don't like the inch tires sticking out can I just change rear rims to 5.5" backspacing with 4.5" in the front?
3. If this rear end is going to cost me nothing but problems what is the best rear end to run with under 300Hp?
Thanks for all in advance who respond. I am doing a V-8 restoration for first time but have been around the block with Inline 6 before
