Hi Guys,
I'm building my project and need a little info. Do I need custom length driveshafts?
I'm going with a 351Windsor, have WH 3.5" SL, 1" BL, using original C4 and Dana 20. Since the 351W mates up to the C4, do I have to change the C4 tranny mount, or can I leave it in the stock position? I read here that there's plenty of room in the engine bay for the 351W, and I will be going with a Sniper EFI kit, hopefully with my original hood. I know the suspension will increase the need for longer driveshafts, but I was unaware that I would need to move the transmission mount rearward as a buddy mentioned today. Is this common? I do plan to reinforce the body a bit, so, ther will be added weight of larger engine, more steel on tub, larger rear gas tank, full family roll cage, etc., which will load the suspension. I plan on about 20% off road, 70% around town and 10% hwy. Anyone with a similar setup using 35" tires and such please chime in. Thanks, F
