Cool. Thanx for the info. Hows it look so far. Kinda hard to tell what it is right now but it should be looking better tonight. I need an opinion. Should i mount the trans and rear suspension first then mount the motor to line up with the sprocket? I think this is how i need to do it so the rear end lines up evenly. I can offset the motor if need be. I just dont want to run a jackshaft. Im also thinking of mounting the trans on a sliding type of set up so i can tighten the chain if need be.I think it would only have to slide a couple of inches.

Mount the trans first.

Actually if you're using trailing arms in the rear mount them first then the trans. There's a reason for that being done in that order. I'll give  another a chance to chime in on that.

I have one 12, I know they can be bought i just havent pursued it, I need another... I can get 10's all day long, but not in a appealing width, What i really want is a 9x10 but that is not possible, I may get lucky and find some 1/2's that can be redrilled...

I also was pondering the idea of building a drill jig, so we could take 4/130/ 4/110, and 4/100...My car is 4/100 as well...
