Too much backspacing will still cause rubbing even w/large diameter wheels. Like Lolife99, I've done it numerous times on different year models. I drill a hole where I want the lip to start/stop. Then w/a cut off wheel, I trim the offending material away.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
