Its like the trans mount lets the trans be too low. Anyone know of a maximum angle this can be and it still be safe? ------------------ Hoofbeats are louder than Heartbeats! 68 Coupe, now with a 351W and 5speed.

I would not be concerned. ------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator/ non 65-66 Mustang owner sensitivity co-ordinator NHRA/IHRA/SRA member NHRA and IHRA SS/LA National Record Holder '00, '01, & '02 Fleet of FoMoCo products including 88 ASC McLaren Mustang #28 Part time secret agent license #0089 Professional Manwhore The Barry of BarrysGrrl IP: Logged

The usual fix on a leaf sprung car is a wedge under the perches to rotate the rear end into alignment. Dan Jones IP: Logged
