[V8Vairs] Handy Wheel Offset vs Backspace Chart!

[Archibald Evans]

   Back-in-the-day (late '60's early '70's) the 'hot-set-up' was taking a clutch from a 265ciu Chev v8 and machine facing the female spline area to clearance for the Corvair... Anyone else remember doing that? ADE

>   Hey  Guys, You  must  be  aware  of  this:   I  was  running  the  Corvair  drive  train  thru  my  mind  over & over  while  watching  the  ball  game. IT  suddenly  occured  to  me  that  the  clutch  assemby  is  way  too  big. I  only  used  a  10.5  clutch  Assembly  behind  my  400hp  327 "back  in  the  day".  The  ole  'Vair  doesn't  have  near  the  torque and  no  where  near  the  HP's.........  Right  away  I  remembered  the  10"  pressure  assembly  from  the  G-10  van [I  was  a  parts  store  owner  for  a  few  years]. Now  all  I  need  to  do  is  find  a  9&1/2  disc  with  1&1/8  10  spline ,and  I  am  in  business.  How  many  of  you  guys  have  tried  this?  How  did  it  work  out  for  you?
