Hello everyone. Im new here from upstate NY. I just recently purchased a 1973 Dodge Challenger that has a rebuilt 72 440 in it. My first purchase for the car was a set of 17x7/18x8 foose legend rims. I dropped the front a bit, and now need to get some new rear leaf springs to lower the rear. My gameplan for this car is to stroke the 440 to 510 ci, throw a 6 pack efi kit on it, back it by a tko 600 5 speed, and put a level 1 xv motorsports suspension kit on it. New paint and interior as well, but this is my starting point...

You've got a killer game plan, keep it up. Great to see more Challenger's. There is a ton of knowledge here, I can't recommend this community enough. Welcome.

I'm glad to hear of your plans for it. Around here, that would be a finished car!
Sure is pretty, and sounds like it's only getting better. What backspacing or offsets did you use on the Foose's?

To be honest, im not sure what the backspacing is, I called newstalgia wheel, and they knew exactly what i needed.
