ok thats basically what i thought abotu everything. Â*right now i only have an air lid and exhaust, but plans are in the works for a blown 422 stroker, so this setup is just getting done now. Â*I am lowered severly right now due to crappy intrax springs, but those are getting taken care of. You can see in my avatar how much ground clearence i have bettwen the TQ arm crossmember and the ground, lol. but anyway, so then ill just set the lcas to stock length and leave them at that with the relocation brackets. Â*

My only questions still is setting that pinion angle, this is where i get confused, Â*What part do i measure to get that angle. Is it the angle between the drive shaft and pinion or pinion and level or what, can you just clarify that for me. Â*when i put the tq arm in, it said to measure angle of driveshaft before dissasembly and then after make it -1or -2. Â*i did it -1 only, but like i said i broke my stock TQ arm right before that and had an 88 iroc tq arm in it as a temp repair, i also damaged a few other parts so i'm not sure if that first measurment was good or not. Â*Is there a base setting that a stock pinion should be at? Â*I also assume its measured with weight on the axle. Â*i know i may be confusing you, but i hope you get what im asking.
