I am working on my '78 F 150 with a 460 and need more clearance from the oil pan to the tracking arm and not one hour before seeing this I had this idea. Perfect timing as I believe it will make a ton of difference for me. How does this affect the mounts for the transmission and the t-case? Did you have to do any thing there?
Perfect!!! Clearance issues are the worst! Due to my mounts being rubber or whatever material they are, I was able to just tighten the bolts down and almost stretched it to their mounting location. But I did notice a gap that wasn’t there before I tightened them down. If it becomes an issue for me, I was thinking of making some form of wedge to offset that gap and make sure it goes with the new angle of the drivetrain.
