1964.5 Project with Heidt's Suspension

I had the shifter in the middle of the opening but the motor looked crooked. Thats when I started checking the center line from front to rear. I also found that the factory shifter hole favors the drivers side, maybe its because my car was an auto?

thats weird...I guess its possible my engine is crooked...doesnt look that way to me though...my car was an auto as well

Did you check the rear output of the trans for center?

I checked the centerline...it may be at most 3/16" off(its hard to tell exactly laying on the ground with a tape measure) regardless though...the engine still isnt crooked...I guess it doesnt matter anyway as long as its visually ok, the u-joint will correct for that small amount

you said you took 1 1/2 coils off the springs? it looks like I'm going to ave to do the same, your LCAs are parallel now...any way you could get a side shot of the front fender and the wheel gap(or lack thereof)

This is the best pic I have right now. I put a rear swaybar on yesterday, the lowering blocks are suppose to come in today, I will take more pics if I get them installed. I am going to center up my shifter even if everything is off a little off. I was looking under the hood of my Falcon at the engine and it looks a little crooked from the factory.

Got the 2" blocks mounted but now the rear swaybar doesnt work. I am going to have to fab up some new mounts. Here is a picture of the new stance. The rear sets up 1 inch higher than the front.

I am thinking about weld in sub frame connectors. Does anybody have any suggestions?
