engine vs axle angle

i have my rear and set at 2 degrees negative...

because with the engine level (and i level that by the manifold, right?) and the******* bolted up, the******* will be in the positve direction. right?

so my******* will be at 2 degress positive and the rear end two degrees negative....is this right?\

also the rear end yoke is offset on my 55 chevy rear end, will the yokes have enough play for that angle?

this is for a 350/350 turbo

thanks

 

Quick, do a search on this subject before you get ripped up! Lot's of good info in here.

and before anyone asks... NO it doesn't matter whether the driveshaft runs uphill or downhill, as long as the crank/trans output are parallel to the pinion gear (angles equal at both u joints like in that picture)

this subject should be made a sticky...
