Thanks for the replies guys.
Definitely not trying for a 0 angle drive line. As stated that is not good for u-joints since you do need a minimum operating angle for longevity and performance.
Just keeping drive line offset along one plane. One inch offset by itself is not a bad thing but having one inch side to side along with the standard vertical running offset is asking for vibration trouble.
A little driveline 101, Art and Lorne feel free to add to this.
Vertical offset + horizontal offset = compound angle
Single u-joints + compound angle = vibration/drone
Single u-joints need to be in phase to cancel out vibrations.
Compound angles can be used along with constant velocity(CV) joints.
I did manage to get the engine/trans mounted 1" towards the RH side of the car.
Did I absolutely have to?
Don't know but it would have bothered
ME knowing it was off.
