engine offset

[Barneys72]

I was just reading Robroy's post about his new mounts and have a similar yet slightly different question...

I was standing in front of my stripped to the bone rolling chassis the other night and noticed how the entire driveline is offset to the passenger side, I'm guessing this is to make room for the steering box. I'm going to be doing a Fatman front end on this so I'm wondering if I center the engine up for asthetics at what point on the way back to the rearend, which is also offset, might i encounter an alignment problem? Will moving the trans mount and driveshaft support bearing slightly to center cause problems or will u-joints easily cover this?

Thanks guys

how would you center the rear axle with the pumkin off set? the rear wheel would sit in on on side or out on the other. you wont notice the offset once the body is back on it.

I don't plan on moving the rear axle, that's where the misalignment comes from. Axle stays, engine gets centered and everything else in between gets minor centering...

i dotn know if that coudl eb done. it would eat u joints left and right. or something wierd would happen.
