just got a good start into my build. Frame rails are bent starting on some main hoops, its a small 4 seater tube chassis named LARGE MARGE. 5.3 - th400 - atlas - 14 bolts front and rear. Something I have thought of but not in-depth was peoples opinions of 1 vs 2 piece front drive shafts. I think it would be cool to distribute the weight best I could pushing the motor into the center but don't want to get too far away. I also though it would be cool to have equal length front and rear with intermediate on the front.

I plan on having around 118'' wheel base at most, this is not a bouncer build just a gnarly crawler. With that being said just throwing the power train in front its somewhere around 42''-48'' from pinion to atlas yoke.

Does anyone have pictures of their setups 1 or 2 piece, benefits of one verse other besides a few obvious ones cost belly clearance etc Also what could work but shouldn't length wise etc.
