9 inch rear
Hey everyone! Quick tech question -- Running a 429 with a C6 in my 56, putting in a 9 inch rear end running 2.75 gears. This is getting attached to the frame via a 4 link kit by TCI. After setting things in place I am noticing that the drive shaft from the tranny to the rear end is slightly off centered. Is this normal?? And would there be any issues if the drive shaft is not centered?? Anyone else run this set-up and have some suggestions?? Thanks!

Please explain this? The key thing is that the pinion and output shaft are parallel, whether they are in line with one another or offset.

This is one of the best explanations I've ever seen.
