    When I built my motor plates to install my 385 series BBF in my sanger I set them up to have the driveshaft run at a strait shot into the Casale. The Casale box was unchanged from the factory mount / position...

    I can't see how there is any alternative to perfect alighnment between your strut/prop shaft/casale output... The Casale angle/position can't change once the strut is set as GN7 stated... Except for maybe forward and UP...

    Straight in will work, u joint mfgs reccomend at least 2 degrees pre loading a shaft can prevent whip on longer shafts and helps with drive shaft harmonics .

    Yep, I know that in car/truck applications it's pretty important for Ujoint longevity/chatter/lubrication of the needles...

    I just did what I saw others doing when it came to setting up my motor plates AND the way it appeared to be set up from Sanger when my hydro was sporting a BBC (with factory motor plates)...
