PatrickG Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 one question for the 8.8 guys, does the offset pinion location cause problems with clearance in the driveshaft tunnel?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
builtfercomfort Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 I have an 8.8 in a 39 Chrysler and the (v8) motor is likewise offset to the right, so it causes no problems. I think it would be okay even without this, due to the u-joint, but maybe it would cause extra u-joint wear? Hard to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
