Hopefully without changing the pinion angle.

Then again. what was the whole purpose of lowering the engine? lol

Very true about the angle of the output shaft on the tranny, much better said than how I did, BUT, the pinion angle won't change unless you alter the mounts in the rear. What WILL change however is the angle that the rear u-joint sees. By lowering the engine, you raise the tranny (as you said) so you're creating more of an angle at the front u-joint. By doing this you're creating LESS of an angle at the pinion. The pinion is angled back 5* (I BELIEVE, need to more accurately measure) and by lowering the engine, you're raising the rear of the trans creating MORE angle in the front, LESS angle in the rear, you may get to a point where the offset is out of the range of the u-joints and shit will start to vibrate..... this is what concerns me.... this is what I am dealing with right now. The only difference is I am dealing with the offset (side to side angles - or so I believe) not the up and down angles that he's talking about. They all play a role... sadly
