what i dont get though, is if do use the adjustable TA brackets, the front mounting moves up. wouldnt that rotate the axle back, which would point the yoke even further up? i have a hard time understanding this...
With the T/A set-up, the lower the front mounting point goes vs the rear axle/s height @ axle centerline, the more the pinion angle drops because of the fixed position of the housing on the arms.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
