Hey veryone whats up? Im new to this here forum. I got a 81 bird. Ill post sum pics..but im currently swappin ou tthe old run down 255 for a h.o. roller cam 302. Gettin rid of the efi on the h.o. 302 and goin to carb.
I already got a edlebrock 4 barrel intake, holley 650cfm carb, bbk shorties, gt-40p's..more to come..as of now the motor is getting freshened up so she runs good.

I don't have a Bird, but I do have an '80 XR-7.

As far as the wheels go, you can go pretty wide, especially in the back.

I have 17x8 94-95 Cobras on mine with 245's on the front and 275's on the rear. I have plenty of room in the back, even with the wider SVO/Lincoln rear axle. I imagine you could get 9-10" wide wheels back there depending on the backspacing and axle width, etc.
