Can you imagine the torque required to get that heavy of a car that high? My BIL has a 70, 396, 4sp. It pretty much built, nice blue with white stripe pInt job. Wife got him a leather mentor for his bday couple years back. He only gets it out a few times a year.

Fastest car we ever had hubby had managed to put a 400 block into a 1972 Ventura.No room for batteries they were in the back seat.
My brothers got it in one was drinki9ng and when they took off they both ended up in the back seat when the front end came up off the ground.
That was my car hubby destroyed and I was really mad.Then he painted in babay crap yellow with mixture of paints from his brothers body shop. I had to marry him just to calm him down.
He was worth it took care of me and the kids for past 42 years now.

Those oversize tires and rims have to go!
Yeah, I love the car , really love the color, but those wheels and tires just ain't right.
I agree.

If that supercharger unloads serious torque on them, thin spokes going to be flying thru the air
.Those wheels are ugly. What a way to ruin the look of a beautiful car.
Now that is one sharp looking Stang.

With my Mopar back in the day , I tried some funky wierd tires and wheels .
Glad I was really close to home when I tried on a 64 Dodge with 426 ,wedge one night. I limped home on those funky rims , cause I spun the rims inside the tires so bad, it shredded the tires .
Wheels and tires sizes are important.

Young people don't know about that because they never had serious horsepower under their right foot.
Drive screws into your tire beads????
Yep!
Yep bet most of them have never saw a particular size tire shrink in width all the while growing in height!
Or go flat when you spin the rims and sucked all the air out.
I was putting gas in my 77 f100 with a 302 and dual straight pipe exhaust. As I was getting in the truck a kid with a 90s vintage mustang pulled up on the other side of the pump and rapped the motor a few times. When him and his buddies got out of the car I called over to him. Yeah. He says. I said you could have had a v8 and hit the key. He was not happy but his buddies were sure laughing.

Green, green, green. Beautiful cars.
Maybe I spent too many hours on one, but when I see green, all I see is this

I saw the Melrose Missile do that at a drag strip in Tacoma back in the mid 60's, it didn't shred the tires but it put an end to dragging for them, pretty wild to see the wheel spinning and the tire sitting still, I had a hard time wondering why they didn't put screws in the rim, as that was commonly done in those days, another thing I remember was smelling a lot of Nitro benzene being burnt, this was many years before Nitrous Oxide became popular.
Yowsa...

That is what I first learned to drive on. Well it was a B model. I was plowing gardens before I was 9
