me bolting in the partly cleaned sub frame lol
hood and bumper off ready to drop in
tons of room up front
puttign on the engine balancer now
I think its a lil tall hahah
one of the headers put on see how much room there is this is the3 one i will have trouble with clearing the steering shafts .
Now i am gonna measure every thing up for my new drive shaft. and the trans mount doesn't work so i have to build my own.
Now if my test drive shaft is sitting at an angle i may be makign my own engine mounts to get the motors lower and the drive shaft as level as i can get it . . more to come

Driveshaft can sit at a -2 degree angle with no problems. I have +6 degree shims in my truck with the shaft about -4 degrees haha. Haven't broke with rock crawling. If you put a little negative angle in it, when you give it gas it will go close to a zero angle due to the movement of the drivetrain, unless you used a solid diff mount.

yeah i was planning on running solid diff mounts. the stock 240 drive shaft is a 2 piece so its a pile of ****. i was thinking of buying a 350z carbon one cutting it to size and putting the 240 diff end on it but i cant' find any type of adhesive that i know of that will make it as strong as it is from factory. so prob gonna go with an aluminum one .
