They were unchanged during the engine swap. and have been in the same place since 1988 (20k miles). Maybe it's just time to change them. I spoke to a driveline specialist in Sacramento, he seemed to think it was a balance issue. I will be getting the driveshaft and flanges rebalanced and the u-joints replaced tomarrow.

At that time I will get the measurements of the output shaft and the pinion between the frame rails. In my search for answers I have noticed several driveline configurations in which the pinion flange is offset to the tailshaft as it is (now, and maybe prior to the engine swap... I wish I'd paid more attention to their position before)

We'll see.
