Drive shaft angle

I am building my own semi monococque chassis for my Speedster, doing away with the torsion bar rear suspension. I would like to move the gearbox 3 to 4 inches forward to help with weight distribution but I'm not sure if the drive shafts can cope with constantly running at that angle.
Any thoughts would be welcome. Thanks

come on george give up the info, i remember you saying the
tube frame motor/trans is 2" fwd with no ill effects.
hows my memory?

Somewhere in the forum , I recall seeing a mention of the maximum degree angle the axle can be at ....Alan M

I remember Henry mentioning the degree during his talk at Carlisle just not 100% what that number was. From there documentation IM moves the engine 3 inches forward and I think he said the CV joints can run at up to an 18 degree angle but they run them at 15. Best just to email Henry to be sure.

Or just dont move it more then 3 inches forward.

Thanks for your help but who is Henry?

Henry builds Intermeccanicas.

How do I contact him?

See "Makers" tab at the top of the screen......

Very Intermeccanica based contact information, will try the 'if it looks right' it should work method (as used by Craig Breadlove when developing Spirit of America, Sonic Arrow) Yes us Brits beat you to the supersonic L.S.R. but in the most boring way!! My god, we were so organised it made me fall asleep, Craig Breadloves car never saw a wind tunnel and did a seven mile skid because he thought it felt good , so he floored the gas pedal!!!!!!! Hats of to America. My god wasn't Thrust SSC the most ugly car you ever did see.

Proof positive that "design by committee" doesn't work. Other examples of this maxim being the camel and Barry Manilow. (apologies to any Bazza fans)

Ha,Ha,Ha!!
