Where is your engine/trans angle at? Mine is about 3.5*, I think I need to raise the tailshaft a bit up.

Mine is as it came from the factory. I have a poly mount on the trans and moroso solids on the engine. Never checked it or moved it. Mine is not a good model for anything. I don't know if there is a vibration at low speed since it gets through the range so quick. For all I know I could be having the same problem as others at 65-75 mph but I would never notice it. This winter however the car will be done with a motor plate and mid plate, so possibly we will change the angle a little.

I had to smash my crossmember pretty good to get clearance for the 3" exhaust, which in turn altered the angle. I do have a vibration, but I need to stiffen my crossmember since it is now flimsy - I can grab the tailshaft of the trans and actually flex the crossmember up and down. And sometimes my fan hits the shroud :eek:.

I just need to know where it actually belongs.

Vince, any where from 2*-5* should be fine.
