From my trans to my wheels, my axles go uphill at a 10 degree slope. Is that too much?
They angle forward a bit also, but it don't appear to be that much.   |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) I haven't checked, but custom axles were made for it. I have a Craig Davies remote WP, and wonder if the engine could still be moved ahead a tweek, then maybe could raise it up some? Right now the back is about a thumb's width at the back of the engine bay, towards the top from hitting. I would imagine if I was able to move the trans up, to some degree, I would have to take some off the length of the axles. |
