With the high driveshaft speeds we are all after(5th gear at 100mph)smaller angles become critical for silky smooth operation. I wish I would've raised my tunnel. Otherwise, it's simply a compromise on u joint angles and vibrations of some kind will exist as your driveshaft speed increases. I'm still messing with mine to this day. Cutting my tunnel may still happen down the road.

Ok, well sounds like I need to just raise the tunnel, that's good advise on the motor hanging lower the the crossmember as well. I actually had a diveshaft angle problem before all this, and always had a vibration on decel so i guess plan A is to get that squared away this time.. for some reason i always cringe when I cut up old sheetmetal, but its not like im ever going to put it back to 100% stock so what the heck..
Hey Frank, those Billet Specialties wheels I got through you are beautiful, I need a g link now. You got one laying around???
