For what it's worth Fantom Works in Virginia put an LT4 in a '69 Chevelle. It took major revision of the front frame as that engine is huge in length and width but it did work and sound fantastic. They got the engine as a crate sale, so I would guess it is obtainable.
All seasons in correct sizes for 5BW! 50 mileage warranty, 186 mph rated. So inexpensive they're probably Chinese, but available at Discount for around 700 for all 4...anyone heard of these??
Do I use the flat 6mm spacers or the ones with the raised lip in the center edge? Even the flat ones are available hubcentric, but is the wheel hub long/tall enough not to need the raised lip?
My point, despite the snide comments, is that here in Southern Texas, truly cold is rare, and a matter of days per year. I don't find it useful to put on tires that are mainly for snow AND cold, in sizes that are not optimal, for those few days. Despite the superior attitudes by the usual kind...
Have driven plenty of them at 20degrees with a lot of extra care. In the case of the 5BW there appears to be no viable alternative. Awareness of traction issues is certainly needed. I'm referring to the warning that those tires could actually crack or blowout in the cold, which seems entirely a...
To compare either BW to light and even 2door cars is truly impossible. Indeed, my 5 is a whole different beast from my 4, but neither are my 911 or 356 or 2002tii. Never expected them to be. However, if your 4 is out of warranty plenty more power is certainly available in the aftermarket. So...
Had an alignment check done on 5BW with 4700 miles and revealed significant anomalies in the settings. See the attachment which describes just the front. I'm not happy this wasn't caught and I do believe similar was and is responsible for my tire problems. I also learned that GM will pay for...
I have bought 2 BW from Sewell, formerly known as Ken Batchelor but owned in the Sewell orbit for years. They have been totally honest, solved all issues, delivered what they said and are price honest. If you want the name of my salesman DM and I will send it along. Top notch, knows the cars...
I put the Conti's on my 4BW. Never a fan of Michelin since they stiffed me on a thrown belt years ago, which damaged my Ferrari. Anyway, the Conti's are somewhat quieter and I can't reach the max performance of either them or the Michelins. Always have been a Conti fan, and disappointed they...
