Rear end Degree (angle) HELP
I need to order the IRS cross member for my 50f1 with 78 JAG IRS but they need to know what the angle is 0, 4, or 6, How do I know what I need. ..........RUSTY

GreatNorthWoods There are no perches to weld the cross member has a plate in the center with 4 holes. The chunk bolts to the plate. The cross member is 3 1/2 by 3 1/2 sq. tubing that has to be cut to fit between the boxed frame. ..........RUSTY

It's always best to mount the engine and trans first to get your reference angle (as has been posted here already)...if you choose to mount your IRS first then go with the 4 degree angle and adjust your engine/trans angle to match. Most intake manifolds are designed to set your carburetor at level with the engine mounted at a 4 degree tailshaft-down orientation.
