You are, of course, correct and I knew that....I just reread the post and saw that I had misread the part about “continue turning the engine until...
It does have an open driveshaft, has lug "nuts", and you can see where some brackets have been removed or altered.
He's a freakin' handfull!!! LOL (But we love him anyway)
No, YOU just solved my problem! "Static Ground Brush" is what I was looking for. Not only is that the correct name for it (I assume). It pretty...
Best I can tell (now that I've done some more research). I think the rear end under the 54 Buick that I'm "piddling" with is actually out of a...

Thanks pnb. That was actually my "safe" plan. Two and Two and be done with it. I guess I was just hoping somebody had de-arced a set 3+ and had...
I'll use up to a 2" block if I have to. I just think anything taller starts to look "cobbled" and it's hard on suspension due to the leverage....
