The pinion on the differential is 1.000 inches offset to the right of the car. To keep the drive line angles reasonable, the engine is 1/2" offset to the right of the car. Of course, this makes for some very interesting issues when you are dealing with a right hand drive car!

The 1/2 inch offset is original.
