Lemme get this correct... you moved the engine back & dual transfer-case'd it?

You are going to have a LOOOOONNNNGGGG front driveline.

no i am going to have 2 front driveshafts... a flat one along the case and part of the trans with a carrier bearing then the second shaft drop down from there to the front axle.

if you don't know what i am talking about look at most of the f-toy builds on pirate4x4
