How much, if any, side to side driveshaft angle at the transmission is normal or acceptable? Installed a modified K member on a 65 B body and it seems to me like the engine does not sit as straight as it should, trans tailshaft does not point directly at the real axle yoke. I know the engine is supposed to be offset side to side, don't think that is the problem. Unfortunately I never looked at the driveshaft angle before swapping out the original K member.

Have taken it back apart, going to relocate the K-member mounts to better suit my needs. Should be able to get it all straight that way.

far as I know, very little side to side or none?
I'm 55 now, no time to waste. Not a week goes by that I don't hear about someone passing on.Let's get out there,smoke some tires,have a beer with a good friend,do what you have always wanted to do.I am pretty sure no one will ever say on their deathbed "gee I'm glad my life was calm and boring"

, The Ujoints need to change angles as they rotate to make the needle bearings inside roll on the Ujoint pins, if they do't they will brenell(SP) and die
