in a straight swap it would decrease the angle. straighter is better. depends on what you are doing I guess. you might have to shorten the shaft. clearance at the crossmembers might also become an issue if you are going real low.
what are your thinking of putting it in?
I am doing lots of mods including stretching the wheelbase, 4 link suspension, air bags, replacing the current open/closed driveshaft, trans, the whole bit. Most likely I will end up with the driveline closer to straight moving to an upward angle. opposite of stock. I am not completely sure yet because I might actually end up moving the trans and motor higher in the frame or maybe dropping the body down on the frame. I have to wait and see what my clearances are after I have the roof chopped and then again after I convert the front suspension to IFS.
