    I working on a project in which I will likely build the rear with a standard banjo ***embly at first, with an open drive conversion and ladder bars. Get it on the road and save for a QC at a later date.
    The question is, does a QC have the same angle of the housing at the drive input face as a banjo? Theoretically 90 degrees to the vertical centerline of the case.
    The ladder bars will have some adjustment, but will be limited by any bind in the transverse leaf spring (Model A)
    Thanks in advance

    Yes, the quickchange input shaft is on the same angle as the banjo.

    Are you asking if there is a difference as to where the input yoke is placed? The banjo is pretty well centered. The input for the quick change is lower by the distance of the centers of the QC gears. It will affect your driveline angles.

    Three inches lower.

    Yeah, I know that. Im inquiring if there is like any major difference, such as a rotation of the bell mounting pattern that would make a major change at the input yoke. I have no experience with qc's, no reference parts and no mentors handy. I could run up to Waco and bug Hot Rod Works, but they need to stay busy filling existing orders.
    Quick math says the change would be about 6 degrees.

    Make yourself a quick extension plate that’s 3” long and set up the torquetube with the ultimate angle. Then just suffer with the odd spring angle until you get the quickie installed.
