The hardest part is getting the carrier inline between the trans output and the pinion but having the angles cancel is more important.
That's actually extremely helpful. Thanks!

I can already see that I'll have to do some work on the trans hump. I hope to be able to make use of the high hump that's in the donor burb.

The carrier has to move up anyhow...even without a Z. It hangs a good 2" below the (new) frame.
