[DeTomaso] Engine position

[Ken Green]

I have been told that CV joints are better if the angles increase.

Bill, I can't help with your question, but I have a related question for the
group.

Is there a desired alignment of the transaxle with the rear wheel axle?
The motor fore and aft position could have the half shafts at a horizontal
angle.
While asking, the same concern about half shaft angle when ride height is
changed.

Bill, hope you're dry!

Engine mounts are designed to position the engine as far forward as possible
by mounting the stands with the holes mostly forward. BUT, When I do that
the drive pulley scrubs the front firewall and the trans mount are too far
forward. Word on the street says early cars MAY have the engine positioned
rearward. This is what we will try tomarrow.  Does anybody have theirs
mounted in this rearward fashion?  Bill 1362
