I have this week off and decided to tackle some of the problems on the Death Trap. I mounted the transmission crossmember and changed the motor mounts. I used a 2 inch drop crossmember from CPP, to get the correct u-joint angle I had to add a couple of shims. The engine angle wound up being 7 degrees, I was trying to get it closer to 4 or 5 but was limited by the drop in the front clip. The driveshaft is centered and both transmission and rear differential are at the same angle.
