Very nice work. This is going to be an awesome car.

What engine/trans angle do you have?

...I cut up my trunnel for the T56 and will be raising my diff a couple inches, so I'm thinking in order to get the 3* or less for the u-joints, the trans should be as flat as possible...?

Right now the driveline angle set at 2.7*. I know when i first cut the tunnel to fit the trans. The slip yoke was actually sticking through the floor. Thats when i decided to raise the whole tunnel. Hope that helps

That makes sense. When I jacked the trans up to from 4 to around 2*, it was obvious that the whole tunnel would have to go.

I need to get it at around 2* for the bottom to be level with the bottom of the subframe rails, but it also seems like I was having to jack it up really high/flat angle in order to get this, thanks for the confirmation!

I wanted to get the trans close to flat so that my u-joint angles wouldn't be all out of whack in with a tucked differential, but the trans has to be raised sooo much in order to get it near 0*.
