Engine angle

Post by Blackwaterforge »

I am installing a different engine.
What is the angle of the output shaft of the transmission?
My pinion angle is 6 degrees with no engine.
Thank you!
If it cain't be fixed with a sledge hammer it must be an electrical problem!

Try looking over the Body Builders Layout Books...they might help. While they don't specifically give a measurement in degrees, they do specify how much lower the transmission output shaft centerline needs to be below the top of the frame.

Stock angle is 4.66 degrees...its on those frame dimension sheets, but hard to pick out.
