Just some information, I found what I think is the source of the diagram showing the locating pins, and it was updated. It now shows the locating pins as being in line with the axle centerline, no 1/4" offset.
Also here is the PN for the borgeson u-joint to go from 3/4" DD to the Ford 3/4" V.
BRG-014955
I also made a deal on a donor 2006 CV police car, it is a roller less engine/trans and some other small stuff. I am going to see if I can use the rear axle as well since it is a 3:27 traction lock.

Actually the Z joint is so you don't eat your steering wheel in a head on crash. It allows the steering column to break to the side instead of getting pushed towards you.
I hope someone fixed the dimensions in the CV suspension picture, I found it to be quite different from reality when I was trying to use it when I drilled my frame.

I was trying to do two things at a time.

I do not plan on using the Z joint unless I need it for clearance issues, it could be a help to gain room, but we will see.
This is the updated picture I found.

OK finally picked up my 2007 crown vic donor car today, I know you all love pictures but its too dark to take one!
Since all I needed from this car was suspension items the car is basically stripped, no engine, trans, front sheet metal, etc..so there is little to no weight on the front of the car.
Final request, can anyone tell me the angle of the lower control arms on a complete CV at rest? Are they level to the ground or at an angle? Normally IFS lower arms are somewhat level at rest but not all are, my jags are at 5 degrees down on an XJ6.
Since I need to have the right low stance I want to make sure I have the control arms at the correct angle at the correct ride height.
Anyone have a measurement or maybe a picture from the front on a finished truck or crown vic showing the angle?
