It definitely will move, I don't care how you weld it, weld it on then check it with an alignment bar, if crooked cut 0ff ends and reweld Mike




thats for sure the right way to do it. but I have welded them with the axels and center section in. was a low HP bracket car grant you. but it worked more than once and is still working. I am sure if we pulled it down and checked it with a jig it would be out.
but the axels still slide in easy and the rear makes no noise. I tack them, then go back and weld very small areas and let them cool. on a street car or low HP you can get away with it. if it was a high HP car you probably wouldn't be using an 83/4 anyway







Also tap each weld with a slag hammer to relieve it as it cools and it will not pull.....
