drive line angle
Im getting ready to drop in my engine and trans most likely this weekend.(if my tranny guy is done by then)
My question lies in the engine perchs...the ones I have are for a FE block...
my research says that the engine will be one inch higher than
stock... thats STOCK...
My truck will be getting dropped 3 inch in the front(DJM Dreambeams)...and whatever it takes in the rear with shackles to make it look right...ie 2inch 1 1/2 inch lower.
so if the engine is 1 inch higher and the front is lowerd 3 inchs it is now 1 inch below stock(roughly) and if I lower the rear as little as 1 inch...shouldnt this level out the drive train...I would obviously have to raise the transmission mount 1 inch to keep that straight....I think.....
I know I could go purchase some SBF stands..but for the most part I see them going for 150 bucks when I find them...Unless someone has some they want to let go of!?!?!?!?!? and then wouldnt that be too low after the lowering???
Im pretty elementary when it comes to this but im hoping some pros like garbz and others can chime in to help me get this right!
Thanks in advance for any help you can give
