    37476855-6293-4059-853F-AB3F8AAB4DD1.jpeg Nestled back in. Now to address pinion angle. SBC sits at 8 degrees. Lowest I can get it and clear steering. That with trans raised at rear 1”

    rear pinion angle at diff is down 9 degrees. No wonder I had vibration.

    shop that did the engine and trans swap for me really didn’t get any of it right. I’ve had to address side to side angle. Was 4 degrees to right. Pinion angle engine was 13 degrees from front to back (trans yoke lower) and now I find diff pinion is 9 degrees ( that is front of diff lower than rear so it’s pointing down at the front)

    2 piece drive shaft so I need to get it all measured up with the drive shaft in place

    Looks tidy and functional. I like your attention to detail and straight forward design. The engine bay looks fairly uncluttered with plenty of room to service the engine, exhaust and cooling; well done!
    Now if everything works, you've got a home run!!
