10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>With a crown install there really are no
drive angles. The diff is attached to the engine and if you keep the diff at
the same height as stock you will be fine. I used a dead corvair engine block
as my aligning tool for the front rear measurement. I bolted the block to the
diff and then the engine mount to the car. That kept the diff in the same
position as it was from the factory.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>Hello, I have a question concerning My 66 <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">monza</st1:place></st1:City> "Crown style" conversion. I
am trying to build it from scratch and have the motor, tranny, and diff.
mounted in the car temporarily with the factory block bolted behind for a guide
using the factory rear engine mount. I am now trying to build a cross member
for the V8(5.3L block from a 2002 chev 1/2 ton ). My question is how high
should the block be to keep all the factory drive angles? (Distance from crank
center line to floor pan, or rocker panels ) Any help
appreciated.
Thanx
