Re: drive shaft alignment problems

If this was a small block truck and now carries a big block, did you get the correct frame pedestals? I don't know the precise difference, but if the small block ones are taller, which I suspect they might be, then you're never going to get it high enough in the back without it hitting.

Also, how did you 'lower' this truck? With new spindles or has the body's position relative to the frame changed?

Re: drive shaft alignment problems

Bib block motor mounts but now I think I might have hurt the motor. I cant win with this truck I swear. From jacking up the trans and motor my throttle linkage bent to wide open throttle and I didnt have a revlimiter chip in. Went to pull it of the ramps reved to the moon before I could shut it back down I have push button start and switches. Now gota pull the valve cover off got a tick in the back driver side hopefully a rocker is loose or just a bent pushrod and not a valve.
