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

frojoe 01-26-2010 01:46 PM

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

frojoe 01-26-2010 03:05 PM

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*.

72novadriver 02-17-2010 06:18 AM

Catching up on some small things. Got the front tie downs on the subframe, and made up an expansion tank for the rearend.

Thanks, Still have the Fikse's, but the car started to go another direction and we needed wheels to follow.

The attention to detail on this thing is fantastic! One of my favorite Lat-G builds. I'm currently helping a friend of mine with is 74' and I referred him to this thread for some inspiration. He went nuts over your work!

On a side note, is there any place with more on the Mustang I keep seeing in the background?:D

If everything goes smooth and the car will move under it's own power we would like to have it there to shake down.:drive: I'll know for sure in the next four weeks.

71RS/SS396 03-07-2010 04:29 AM

Where are you at in Ortonville? I just moved from there ( sort of, I still own the house there) 2 years ago. I've never seen your shop. Nice project by the way!
