I am absolutely loving this series. Years ago, I followed as many tube frame build-threads as I could find. I was crazy about them and even ordered a race car chassis design book from the 60s in hopes of doing my own build one day. I had yet to see a well documented tube frame build on KZbin until I came across SK8215's build, and now yours. I'm really looking forward for what's to come!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CONFIRMING WHAT I THOUGHT I KNEW. I had a vibration in my 68 Nova at speed and when I suspected the driveshaft and called a reputable vendor they told me 6 degrees down on the transmission output was too much and I needed to move it to under 3 degrees. I told them it should matter as long as my pinion is rotated up to match. They said this was incorrect and even with my LS it would vibrate if I set it more than 3 degrees. I argued about lifted and lowered vehicles and how they drop the transfer case or shim the pinion to match and I was told they would not help me until I corrected my transmission output angle. I beat myself up for months trying to figure out why this mattered, and you confirmed what I thought. Great videos I have been subscribing for a long time. Keep up the awesome work.

Carb intake manifolds are cast with 3 degrees built in but since engine angle is 3 the intake will measure at 0 when mounted in the car. All older cars engine and trans are mounted 1 inch to passenger side for steering shaft clearance . If your driveline is perfectly straight trans to differential the rollers in the u joints wont spin.
@RussellTelker4 жыл бұрын
Your last sentence is the important one, and is the reasoning for the angle in the carb flange. The engines weren't pitched to level the carb, the carb flange was pitched to level the carb. The output of the trans and the input of the differential need to match/oppose (ex: 3 degrees down on output, input is 3 degrees up). And MANY older cars had the engine offset, not all.

Great stuff, love the videos. I pretty much watch all your content, going back years. Looking forward to the rest. One thing though, raising or lowering the engine doesn't affect the roll center. Roll center is determined by suspense geometry. It is the axis by which the body rolls. Maybe you're thinking of center mass. Raising the engine will raise the center of mass and likely increase body roll while cornering, but not change the roll center.

First, I'm loving this video series. I'll be building a new frame for my 48 Willys later this summer and I'm learning a lot here. A good example of a vehicle where the engine is offset from the vehicle centerline are the early Jeeps. All of the flathead powered models had the engine and trans offset 1.5 inches to the driver's side of the chassis to get the driveline to fit inside the _very_ narrow chassis. As for the pitch angle, you want the pitch angle of the engine/trans/transfer case (if fitted) to match the pinion angle of the rear axle. and DO NOT point the trans/transfer output directly at the rear diff.The reason for this is simply U-Joints. The physics of how u-joint works is that they speed up and slow down during specific angles of rotation as they turn through a single revolution. If the front and rear of the driveshaft aren't parallel (as seen from the side _and_ top, the driveshaft will have an annoying vibration that will be impossible to get rid of. If the trans/transfer output are exactly lined up with the pinion, it causes problems with the u-joints themselves. I don't recall ATM exactly what the issue is, it might be a binding issue, but I'm not positive. Whatever it is, it will wreck the u-joints in short order. As an aside, I learned pie cuts from your videos and made a set of double-Y headers for the V6 in my Willys. Thank you for the lessons!

When building drivetrain from scratch and talking about engine angels. I think it's also important to mention the importance of drive shaft angels and line up. And if you can't laser line up gearbox output flenge to the diff you need to make sure that the driveshaft U-joints have the equal amount of angel on each end (at least within spec) to prevent severe vibration. Angled driveshafts increase and decrease speed twice for each revolution. So it's important to allow both ends of the shaft to increase and decrease speed the same amount.

Justin love Your Work. You are a talented welder/engineer and presenter. if i can throw my twobobs worth in on your angles, one of the reasons the pitch angle or v angle is set is in correlation with the final drive pinion angle , if you are using a "Hotchkiss" Drive system (Spelling from memory) that entails cross and yoke universals, to prevent vibration the angles at normal ride height of the power unit and pinion should be as close to each other as possible. However if using a CV drive this is not as important. Just my takeon this, Looking forward to the next episode Cheers Mate. Michael./

Thank you for the info on engine pitch. I’m putting an LQ4 into a 68 amx and at zero degrees the tranny is inside the car. At 5 degrees it’s pointed at the pinion

I will say a lot of factory engines are offset to the passenger side and they do that for more leg room and stuff for the driver also helps balance weight from side to side on some vehicles cause they have the weight of the fuel tank and driver on the driver side plus other things. Also why some vehicles have rear axles where pinion is offset to better line with the engine.
