#1....Is the tranny supposed to be tilted a little bit?, looking front the front with it still mounted but engine out, my trans. looks about 3-5 degrees tilted, with the pass. side lower.
#2....About to start the SOA and was wanting to make sure step by step i have it down, read all the posts. For the back, all you have to do is remove the axle, chop everything off, slide it back under with perchs on the top, put the full weight of the vehicle on it and point the pinion directly at the xfer output shaft, and weld the perchs in this postion. Also make new shock absorber mounts. As for the front, pull the axle out again, cut everything off, turn the knuckles 13 degrees (having someone else do this for me) and then again point the pinion right at the xfer output shaft, and weld everything up. As for steering, use hi-steer arm, and then rig up the rest. Is this all there is to it? I know this is actually alot of work, but just making sure i understand everything before i screw something up!
oh yeah one last thing...I'm using the ranger overdrive as the conversion for my 350 thats goin in, which bellhousing do i use, the 3f one, or a chevy? this is the only thing im a lil' shady on....
