Ford 8 inch rearend swap

offset pinions should be fine as long as the trans output and the pinion are on the same parallel course. up/down, side to side doesnt matter when its spinning. you just dont want it catty-wompus cross-eyed under there.

That may be true, but I don't agree with it. It's "my" personal preference to have the drive shaft straight with the center line of the car. I'll cut axle tubes and axles to get there.
