    This week Im hoping to make a little progress on my A coupe before putting it into storage whilst I move to China.

    With some help we are Going to set a motor and box into the A ch***is and just want to make sure Im on the right track.

    Pinion angles the same for g'box and diff.
    Have flat head style biscuit motor mounts for the SBC so will put the weld on sections of these so they are flush with the top of the frame rail.
    The ch***is is stretched 4" from the firewall so will mount it so the dizzy just clears the firewall.

    Will have the front end is before so will make sure everything clears.

    Anything else I should be considering?

    2 degrees is what I would set the pinion at-same for the motor and box.
    Of course-dont set your 2 degrees of the carb face,imagine a straight line through the crank,if you know what I mean!
