I have a 72 Mav 2 dr with a 250 6 cyl and C-4. The engine is not a transplant -- the door plate code is correct for a 250. Regarding the hubs, I thought that 250 sixes had 5 studs, mine has 4. Any of you experts out there know which cars had 5 studs?
Also, if I switch to front discs from a later Mav, will the hubs have 5 studs? Is there any advantage to swapping rear axles or (not sure if this can be done) re-drilling the flanges for 5 studs?
Right now I have stock hub caps and trim rings so if I had 5 front and 4 rear, no one would know (except Mav messge board visitors, hee hee). Thanks. Tom
