Update:
spoke with driveshaft guys and they explained the process of getting it cut and balanced. so this will be the direction I’m heading in for now.
plan:
-remove rear shaft then remove front shaft, then move engine rear until it sits on perches correctly.
-Then I drill new holes into frame where transmission crossmember will sit so I can bolt it down. Any tips on drilling into frame for these holes?
- then I will measure from end of transmission tail shaft to center of u joint as per driveshaft guy.
then they will cut front shaft and balance both shafts. I’ll pop them back in and should be good.
question:
-tips on drilling new holes in frame for transmission crossmember holes.
- what else should I do while I’m down there??
-does anyone know if I should be flipping my transmission cross member around the other way or if I should replace transmission mount… also what bolt would fit there since it’s been missing this whole time.
-last question for now is what nut(fastener) attaches to the 302/351w engine mount?
thank you!
