Re: JPOR: re: getting the spindle out and progress report on Grand Wagoneer swap

Yes, the driveshaft angle is always going to be a problem. I think a friend
of mine found a source for a cheap used eb D20. I think I may look into that
route some more - any way you look at it, the eb d20 seems the shorted
driver's side drop xcase out there, so whatever solution I end up using
could use that extra space - assuming that adapting it to whatever
tranny/splitter or whatever doesn't require adapters that negate the length
advantage..... ugg I'm getting a headache....
