If I raise the engine to be able to air it out, I will have to modify the floor pan, and tilt the rear end carrier even more to get the u-joints in spec. Keep us posted!
Hey buddy, i got my carb flange level so my trans is pointed down the 3 deg, since im using the corvette rear end i thought i might as well use the tourqe bar that comes with the vette and when its bolted to the rear and bolted to the brackets up front the rear end wont move up i guess like a normal rear would? so my drive line has a slight down hill slope towards the rear end.. i hope that will work because thats whats gonna have to happen! lol after i thought about it in the stock vette the tourqe bar bolts to the transmission and the rear end so the drive train didnt move in the vette and its not gonna move on the truck. hope it works
