When I built my TR6 race car I shot a lazer through a bare block and =
bare gear box to the diff flange and adjust diff, gearbox and engine =
mounts to give best alignment. Makes a big difference to getting power =
to the ground and reduced vibration

I don't have a record of what the angles are on hand, but to be clear... =
are all the components you are using stock?
If so, replace the rubber puck mountings on the front of the diff with =
polyurethane ones and you are done here.=20
None of those angles need to be changed for a racing application; but =
the bushings should be poly. All of that is fine for a fresh set of =
u-joints. Spicer (best) (or Japanese GMB? brand from TSImported =
Automotive ...fine as well)
These are the last few u joints I have used and have served well.=20
