Re: SiX-fo SuBuRbAn

pics maybe tomorrow, got the engine in, motor mounts sectioned, trans crossmember located and in, mocked the old cowl up to see about fitment issues with the bbc.

so this came up: I located the front axle centered in the wheelwells. I located the motor mounts exactly where my 63 4X4 sbc is.
there is a 4 inch lift.
the front driveshaft comes up short by about 3-4 inches....
this is the same shaft that was in the truck that had the 4 inch lift.

so were the motor to axle locations different 60-66, as compared to 73-87?
since everything seems to be in the right spot I guess I will have to have a longer driveshaft made...
