no i took measurements and it would fit,but i did the calculations for f/r weight ratio and and it would be to rear heavy.like 65/35.What brought this to me attention was when i took the gas tank and v8 out was the rear lifted up about 3 inches and the front lifted up about 6 inches.



Im still going to do sumtin different.so it be a total letdown.
