After reading a ton of threads on driveline angles and struggling with this issue for a few days. It would be great to get some suggestions or reassurance (or rejection) on the driveline angles I’ve ended up with. I’m working with a G3 Coyote, TKX, IRS. My IRS pinion flange angle is 0.8* Up. “Up” being higher in the rear than the front looking from the drivers side. I set the transmission output angle at 0.8* up so the two centerlines are parallel. Unfortunately this tips the front of the engine down and I can’t remove the oil filter because it hits the 4” frame tube. I have the FFR supplied motor mounts that come in the Coyote installation kit with the 1/2” shims installed. Everything is fully seated, and torqued. I also have the short oil filter supplied with my engine.
If I set the transmission at 0.6* up, (0.2* from parallel to the IRS) I can get the oil filter off, but just barely. At 0.6* up. I have a driveshaft angle of 8.3* down. OA1 is 8.9* and OA2 is 9.1. Obviously these angles are far from ideal. Am I okay this this setup or up the creek so to speak.
