Thanks for all the nice comments.
One thing I just remembered.
With the ECE LS engine mounts and trans mount the trailing arm cross member can be an issue when you lower the truck 6" in the back. The T56 magnum is quite long. You need a "high" trans cover to clear the top of the trans.
My engine angle is about 4 degrees down. My rev limiter is set at 6200. Per my drive shaft shop the drive shaft should be 3.5" per the length required.
Again per them I could use a 3" tube but they would not recommend it. So the I had to open up the trailing arm drive shaft opening so I have about a 1/2" of clearance at drive height. My axle bump stops are set so the drive shaft won't touch the cross member.
If I was to do it again I would lower the engine to give me additional clearance. Maybe this winter?
Just FYI. Again thanks for all the kind words.
