I don't have an answer for you regarding your early B-body, but someone will chime in with the answer or you can try using the painfully cumbersome search feature. 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

I had a '66 Coronet 440 w/ that same combo, 4.25 b/s on the front & 4.5 b/s rear, 225/70-15 on the front & 255/60-15 on the rear, no issues rubbing with no load and I had it kinds low. But if you put ANYTHING in the back seat the top edge of the rear tires would rub the outer wheelhouse. Another issue I had was I know the shocks were shot, maybe the springs too 'cause it sat so low. But that didn't bother me 'cause I did'nt drive it that much and I liked the look.
