I am building a '67 427 replica (Antique & Collectibles ) and have run into an issue.

- I'm running a '69 429 (Stroked to 460)
- T10 BW 4 speed (Long tail shaft)
- 9" ford rear
- 11" drive shaft (Custom build)

I installed the engine mounts per directions (about 10 years ago), added T-10 and had 9"ford rearend.

Issue is that the T-10 has a long tail shaft and ends up below the CL of the rear end. This throws off the drive line. Engine -2.55* ; drive shaft + 4.7* and rear about 3* up(pointing up towards motor).
So my drive train goes down; up; then down. I believe this is bad.....

My initial thought is
- to remount engine/tranny about 2" higher? (Not sure if I'll have hood clearance)
- or find a shorter tail shaft so it ends above the CL of rear end..
Suggestions????
Also - does anyone else know what is the correct motor mounts should be?

Thanks all!
