Maybe that 4 degrees is a point of reference you can work from. You mentioned you plan to point your rear pinion down, so I'd play with some different numbers to ensure you can make that work before setting engine/trans angle in your subframe. My setup worked best with my rear pinion pointed up 2 degrees and the engine/trans pointed down 2 degrees. Had to raise the trans mount quite a bit(and 'massage' the tunnel) to get that engine/trans angle. Plenty of folks using rear pinions down also. Best of luck.  |
Thanks, I've been searching the net but haven't come up with anything in relation to the sub frame. Since there are so many different stances out there I just need a point of reference and the sub frame would be best since it's separate and takes care of both the engine and transmission mounts.
What I was talking about was pointing the trans down with the initial xmember/trany mount fabrication so that I could always just space it upwards to bring it where it needs to be. I have no idea where I'm going to put the rear pinion angle yet other than it's stock location for the moment.
