Drive line issues - need some ideas

[mjhcobra]

Paul,

I believe the bevel on the PI intake was to level the carb out when it was in the police car as most aftermarket intake surfaces are pretty level.

My sidepipes are painted with a type of high heat paint, nothing special.

All of the articles that I have been told to read in this thread and others state that both pinion and trans angles should be equal (same degree) if not very close. EM got that part right as both are at zero and the sidepipes are perfect.

MAYBE EM expected the tire to be higher inside the wheel well or something along those lines, but this would require a shorter shock and I have used the shock length they require. This was verified by another EM member with the same shock and he has no issues at all in the 30K miles on his car (post from 2011 by me addressing same issue).

The trans mount is the standard stock 66 mustang mount and the bracket is a removable bracket made up of a u shaped bent plate boxed by two plates that bolt horizontally to a like mount on each side of the frame rails with no adjustment.

Since EM has been pretty quiet since their sale/move to Texas, there is really no assistance available unless I can find an EM car with my set up. So far, nobody has stepped up to comment.

When I did talk with EM after the move, the new owners knew absolutely nothing about the first 2 or 3 generations of EM cars. They could only comment on what they were building, which is a totally different generation of car. Independent rear, power disc brakes, longer wheel base, etc.

I will get another local "expert" driveline specialist opinion tomorrow.
