How and Why I do It like I do????????
I've decided to show some of my construction methods and tooling fixtures I've built to make things easier and more consistant to achieve the necessary end results-

U can look back to pic #29 for this-the pics prior to that are for direct injection cylinder heads--sorry
If this worked, this is a fixture that I made to help in building 32, 33, 34 fords. It allows me to rest about any engine except GM LS and Ford FE series blocks on the oil pan rails of the block which will locate crankshaft centerline exactly at top level of frame rails. With the normal ride height set up that I use it will have adequate oil pan clearance and scrub line compliance.
This 32 ford is built with a IRS rear with the pumpkin centered so the drive line does have some angle altho it is sideways but same principals apply- equal angles front/rear U joint. I'll have to search for more pics and see if I can continue this.
In these various views you can see the slight sideways off set in the driveline angle because of the centered pumpkin and offset pinionLast edited by jerry clayton; 03-22-2015 at 05:07 PM.
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
