=0A=0A=09Thanks again for all of the advice. =0A=0A=09Since the body is=
off of the car it was fairly easy to make changes=0Aand record the diff=
erences. I raised the back of the transmission 1=0A3/16 inches and the d=
ownward angle went from 6 1/2 degrees to 3 1/2=0Adegrees. I removed the=
aluminum 1 1/4 inch spacers from the front diff=0Amount and the angle w=
ent from 5 1/2 downward to 1/2 degree up, giving=0Aus a total of 3 degre=
e difference. =0A=0A=09The guy at the driveline shop told me that 3 degr=
ees was fine, that I=0Adidn't want perfect alignment because it would we=
ar the needles in the=0Au-joint into the cap without some motion. =0A=0A=
=09Next we will lower the front of the engine as much as possible so we=
=0Awill able to lower the back of the transmission closer to the stock=
=0Aheight while keeping the new angles. =0A=0A=09And then start all of t=
