[QUOTE="Totalled, post: 1459081, member: 16125"] When the trans was rebuilt, they put a 400 truck converter in it, so it had real low stall. A Cleveland needs some stall. They left the factory with a 3,000 stall converter. I took the truck converter out and put in a 2,000 stall converter.

The tires on them were 235/60/14. About as big as you can fit on that wheel. This is a big car, and needs more tire than that. I love the aluminum slot look, so I ordered up 15x8 Ansen Sprints and 245/60/15's for the front and 275/60/15's for the back.
