Thread: How and Why I do It like I do????????

Roger you are assuming things-first I don't set the motor dead level with the frame. I set the front part where the centerline of the front main of crank is level with the frame tops---the back will point at what ever angle I need to be proper driveline alighnment. In addition to the fabbed channel iron piece in the pics, I have a heavy wall tube that is fitted into a 9 inch ford rear pinion support so that actuall the driveline angle is initially set up dead on center lines-------with this as an initial process to set up my builds, it only takes a slight tweek to do the U joint angles--My process literally makes it a deal to mis alighn instead of alighn??


You view about the block setting square / flat to the top of frame is incorrect-is that where you are having a problem accepting what I'm trying to say?

Jerry, I can only go by what you say - can't read your mind. From the original post above,

As for the rubber rake, you are 100% right, only 4" count so the angle would be 1/2 what I stated. I was wrong, which I have no problem admitting when it happens.

As for the dig, I'll just consider the source and bid you good day.
