got a buddy who purchased a truck and now he needs my help to fix it and make it safe to drive as last person just tossed it all together with the stuff thay had.
divorced dodge 205 behind 2wd sm465 . but the 205 is mounted to low so I need to make a new crossmember for it and also the case wasn't clocked correctly its flat.
how far can you/have you safely clocked down a 205 ? when I move the case up I plan to only rotate it up for better input shaft angles. and then redo the rear shaft.
also it has a BIG lift to clear 44" tires and 1tons . but the rear shaft was 1350 joints . there a 20* max angle joint . I think he needs a 1410 joint shaft those work max at 37* . now the 1350 shaft is binding .
the case was 100% hard mounted to the frame no bushings . I am going to order kirts diy4x builder bushings and make a new cross member for it and fix that .
also there is a W cross member in upside down and all cut/modified to make the 2wd 465 sit on a mount. need to check the angle and maybe clock that down some to also help . I noticed the clutch Z bar is tilted up to the engine block at this time . shouldn't that be level ?
and the super custom home brew shaft in the middle now needs some work. the thing was ground for clearance to try and get it to work before he got it.
its a solid builder truck but few bugs I got to help him with . any input on the clocking angle max would be great thanks guys .
