Just been looking at engine position and I'm sort of happy with this current position
Running the engine dead inline it seems to put the output shaft in a good position
If I turn the engine so it's parallel to the outer chassis rail it just skews the output shaft but doesn't improve the position for the prop
And from what I've read it's better for the flanges to be parallel
In this position the total prop length would be 1460mm but I could move the engine back 50mm if I moved the passenger footwell upright back
I have strung a ling between and it's at an angle from the horizontal of about 4 deg, I take it I will still need a 2 piece prop with a centre bearing and a slight kink in the centre so the UJ's aren't running straight
