Engine offset - where is the original drivetrain centerline?

Great info! Thanks!

I may end up contacting you about this when I get to the point of actually having the driveshaft modified. It sounds like I have a green light, though, to put the engine somewhere betwen 5/8 and 1" offset to make it fit and worry about some of the driveline angles later. I guess more offset os better so I'll see where my MA5 Colorado trans ends up once I set everything in place. I'm fixing rusty floors anyway, so maybe a new driveshaft tunnel isn't out of the question! Haha...not desired, though.

I do plan on sticking with a 2 piece driveshaft but that seems to make the front shaft only about a foot long. The power will be stock 315hp or so. Maybe a 2 piece with relocated center support further rearward? Lots to think about. Thanks again for the info!
