I'm building a lakester this year to replace the lightning pickup AA/MP I ran the last two years. Some out there may know this car (I'ts only money #116), last raced in '97' with a small block chevy and muncie 4-speed. I'ts a 280", no suspension , rear engine layout.
My question is this... the car did have a short drive, about 4" center to center, my engine/trans combo is now a 638" Boss 429 with a full comp c-6, can I use a single u-joint from trans slip yoke to rearend yoke?
The engine crank centerline is dead on to rear axle, same plane, no angle. Used a machined bar with bushing through engine mains, trans case and quick change rear.
Any problems with this or is a coupler a better design?
Thanks, Cole Cutler
