I agree the tunnel is not a problem if you are custom building it, but retrofits in a stock floor pan could be an issue. As far as the u-joints, you are correct in that is what they are for, but you will have better longevity and less parasitic loss with as little misalignment as possible. I have no problem sacrificing some functionality for a look, but that is something you have to choose yourself. It's just that it is easier to make smart decisions when you have all the information. I guess that is my point here, I'm not saying one answer is right or wrong. I just wanted to present a few more things to think about before Morley makes a decision. Also, if side to side mis-alignment is not important then pinion angle would only be important for lubrication? Yes - No? it would be interesting to get some more thoughts on this. I'm curious.
