Help engine/trans inclination
Does anyone know what the angle of the crankshaft/driveshaft centerline is with horizontal? I need to verify that I have my engine inclination nailed down properly.

Marck I measured the tranny output shaft centerline to the floor of my vette before pulling the 700 out . I set the tko up the same way and it worked just fine . If yoy need the info email me and I will remeasure it for you

You have mail. I was going to do the same but I lost the measurement (had it stored in a pic) and the mounting pad on the ZF is much taller so the mount on the crossmember needs to drop, I had it too high and need to build a new crossmember.

TT, shouldnt the engine inclination be dependant on the rear end's angle? I found this to be an interesting read.

Yea I know, great link. I find it easier to get the engine close to what it was from the factory and then shim the pinion mount to get them perpendicular. I have limited space with my ZF tranny and would like to avoid having to shim the trans rear mount a lot to get it dead on
Again, nice link, should be in everyone's bookmarks
