Hi Rick,

Thanks for the feedback. I haven't installed the motor yet, so haven't set the ride height. My car will be street driven only, so I'm more concerned with hitting something than I am blowing up the clutch. I am aware that the engine sits to the right about 1". Didn't know that the driveshaft is not straight because the differential is also off to the right a bit as well. Can see it without measuring, but I just took some measurements from the centerline of the driveshaft hookup to the door sill on each side and it is a little more than an inch closer to the passenger side. For this reason, I think the drive shaft will be straight. Could be wrong since this is my first build, but that's what I'm seeing.

I'm getting the bellhousing dialed in tomorrow, and am enjoying this part of the build. Will be installing a mechanical fuel pump, water pump, alternator and pulleys today so will enjoy the day (I hope...). I appreciate everyone's helpful feedback.

Oh, and by the way, I'm in PA, not in AZ, so roads are similar condition as NJ. That said, there are thousands of miles of country roads that are actually in great condition (better than the urban areas). I've driven a lot of them on my Harley and look forward to driving them in the Cobra. I can get to these roads with only 1 traffic light and then can drive all day without seeing another one if I avoid the little towns.

Regards,

Kevin
