Yes. Alpha Romero sport rear end is almost a bolt-in. See my post in “Chevy 2.2L Dutchess” Page 6 for my install.

I’m still having issues posting pictures otherwise I’d put some here. But page 6 has pix.

This will require photos.

The short tilt wheel release lever found on older car columns fits as a turn signal lever. No modification required.

I do not know the actual backspacing measurements but I run 15 x 7 Mustang police steelies with no issue. My 14 x6 Cragar Truspokes stick out just to the fender edge like the 15’s do. My 14 x 5-1/2 Fairmont steelies ride so far inboard I require wheel spacers to keep them off the suspension parts. Your results may vary as I also have drop s…[Read more]

You are going to have to provide some additional info. Is the car a VW pan or Chev/Ford chassis? Can you post pics? What is the difference between the left and right, measuring on a level surface, measure from floor to common chassis points on left side and right side. Pushing down on the tub on the right side then the left is there a…[Read more]
