Also, I'm not sure measuring across the lower rib on the T56 is accurate. That measurement is typically taken on the rear seal surface or the tail shaft sticking out the back of the trans. I'm sure they'll get it right though.
Good luck with the build! Keep us updated.

Yep, thank you Trey. That was a reference measurement pictured.It's the same give or take 0.1 but he explained that its the differential between the tail shaft and the rear end pinion angle that is the important number. What it is in relationship to the ground level is irrelevant.
The picture he took at the output shaft was the same number but way out of focus to post. He told me he takes angles measurements at different areas so you have multiple options to check accurate angles in case one becomes inaccessible during the build. I think I remembered seeing tape notes on pan, bell housing and starter too.
I believe he likes to stay within 3 degrees. We ended up with 2 degrees final. We will see how it feels. I guess its easy to adjust now.
So with the lower links made, the housing brackets tack welded to the rear , the coil over shock mounts made and tack welded in he started working on the upper links mounts and links.
