I ran into a similar problem many years ago, shaft angle reversed, when I stuffed a BB Rat into an 90'' A- Altered Sunbeam(was factory 86''),,, ladder bars held my rear end in place like yours and taking a chance, everything worked great. The trick is 'NOT' to have your prop shaft coming straight in, as this would have a tendecy to make the rotating shaft mass orbit,,,, good luck

I'm wondering if it can be near straight or angled up toward the rearend from the transmission? My trouble is....My transmission snout is going to be much lower than the pinion on the rear end. I'd rather not have to lose floor space by raising the transmission. Will it matter if I have to angle the driveshaft up to the rearend instead of vise-versa? Also....I saw where someone made a comment on the forum, that the propeller shafts need to be angled slightly down. What about angled slightly up as long as I have plenty of travel for the coil-overs? Any idea just how much travel I should allow for? I'm using Aldan's for the front and most likely will use the same for the rear.
