Wheel fitment question

What other plans do you have for the car?

They look good.  I totally feel the work in progress

Thanks. Me too.

I've got to redo the wiring and interior, since it has an internal fire. I want to change it from notch back to fast back. Have the motor rebuilt. Painted. I bought the Indy as a project car for my son to help me work on since he is thinking about being a mechanic.

I think you'll find that the wiring for the rear of the car to accommodate the fastback will be a major task due to the 84's unique wiring and grounding.  If you could find one, upgrading to an 85 or 86 4-cylinder and dropping in a 5-speed Isuzu transmission would vastly improve the reliability, streetability and economy.

I don't know that the Indy's ever came with an econo 3:32 transmission, so with the standard 4:10 transmission, your maximum speed will be about 60 mph.  At that speed you are running the engine up close to 4000 rpm.  The 5-speed would drop it down below 3000 at 70 mph.

Thanks. Did not know much about the transmission. I do have a donor 84 Fiero that I may be taking the transmission out and putting into the Indy, until I can upgrade to a 5 speed transmission.
