I thought there was a difference between the Dodge and Plymouth dimensions. Don't know. Edit: You could take it to a frame shop and see what they say.

If you work with the wheel backspace you may be amazed at how large a tire might fit.

I've not gotten the 11.5W's on the car, even though I did move the axle back 3/4". My current slicks are 11.5/28.5 and the street tires are 325/50 15 radials. My car has springs moved into the frame rails and mini tubbed, narrowed Dana.

That bulge doesn't look that big to me. But the tubs have clearly been removed. Those tires are smaller than what is on my Satellite in street trim. The My problem was trying to fit 11.5W-29.5 (13.25 face by 30.25) into the wheel well. The tub gets too narrow in upper part on the quarter panel...

The air chisel and a grinder will get you a lot of room to utilize the quarter panel size. Just takes courage. Edit: I missed the part where you will separate the wheel housing/tub from the quarter panel. Make a new tub and you are good.

I guarantee you the stock wheel well really tight on the upper area. If you take the whole wheel tub out you have some room.

I'm sure you will find that the shape of the inner wheel wells is a pain to get big tires into. The shape is a pain. It's odd that the '66 wheel well is more restrictive than the '65. Looks like a great project!!

It's been about 50 years since I took my front end alignment class at the local TVI, but I recall that changing the height MAY affect the suspension geometry. Check and see.

Cranking the T bars up or down may make a real difference in alignment. Re-check the alignment after making a height adjustment. BTW changing the rear height also effects the front end alignment.

Bounce it few times, then measure it.

Well been wrong many times, but I thought the 440 was introduced in the '66 Charger, maybe wrong. Don't think the 440 was in the C bodies till '67, but my memory is fading. The 426W was available in many '66 models, B body's, wagons and others, no doubt about that.

BTW, I do think they made a number of C body 426W cars in '66.

There were many 426W's in many models of '66 cars. Not that many 426 Hemi's though. A buddy of mine got a '66 Coronet original Hemi 4 speed car without the the motor & trans, 2000 miles on the car. He switched to 440, sold K member, copied my 440 build. Those were the days. EDIT: As I recall the...

Like 33 said, not so much the HP level, it's the torque & traction. A 8 3/4 can live a good long life behind 500 HP with good traction as long as it is well setup. I preferred the 742 case to the 489 because of the ease of setup. I also preferred the clutch style limited slip diff. If you use...

A 440 with a low rise near stock intake will be fine.

OP, you didn't describe your combination or how you use it. Major difference in header selection. The headers diesel_lv has are an all out race header. My TTI 2" are great on my '66 Satellite, but that's with a 500+ inch motor. A milder 440 would like the 2" or the 1 7/8" versions. All depends...

hunt, were those wheels intended for conical nuts? The old Cragar's used a flat face mount that required "mag" lug nuts.

Single bolt spacing, not "Uni Lug or Vari Lug" using removable offset washers to make the bolt circle diameter.

Great looking car! That scoop looks as good on yours as it does on mine.
