I know of the OBS parts swap to get 6-lug discs..... But I've never seen anyone plot out the geometry when changing the spindles to KNOW things aren't whacky. The Tie Rod height locations on the OBS spindle vs the pre-OBS steering linkage (Pitman Arm>Center Link<Idler) vs OBS steering. What is the impact (if any) on geometry?

More than one guy out there overlooks a possible downside because they're 'saving $' vs. purchasing aftermarket 6-lug rotors on an engineering approved/proven set-up (the OE 67-87 parts). I would research the answers prior to commiting to any specific option.

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.
