Driveline angles... need help please :)
I'm swapping a 24v Cummins with nv5600 into my 92 F350... I have most of it figured out but not the driveline part.
Ok...
First thing I don't fully understand driveline design or engineering lol... I've been reading and get a bit of it... but most of the stuff I've been reading is about existing drivelines and I don't have even a driveshaft yet Haha...
I also don't have a degree tool yet... but I did download an app that does driveline angles... I will get a proper tool... but for now I'll use my hand dandy smart phone for my mock up lol.
My differential pinion is at about 5 to 6 degrees up. .
My engine and transmission is yet to be set as I have to fabricate a new transmission x-member
I've read that the transmission output and differential pinion need to be on the same plane... I've also read that with leafspring axles you want to add 2 to 4 degrees extra to account for axle wrap...
So that would make my preferred transmission yolk output degree at 3 degrees down...
Right?
Anyone know?

Ok found my answer...
Most engines are 3 degrees down from the factory... v8 engine intake manifolds actually have a 3 degree slope built in so that the carburetor sits level...
just thought I'd share.
Mods feel free to delete this thread if you want
