[V8Vairs] Lengthened Wheel Base Corvairs

[WytchMedea at wmconnect.com]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with setting the transaxle 
more rearward and creating an offset in the axle center line?   Pushing 
everything to the rear about one inch but leaving the control arms in the same place 
creates about a 3 degree difference.  I cannot find any axle information but 
the drive shaft people say 3 degrees on the u-joints of like a 16 inch drive 
shaft is no problem but I think the axle turns a little faster.   A lot of guys 
lower their Corvairs and an upward angle is introduced at that time, and I do 
not believe that they have any problems.  

What I would like to do is push my engine back about an inch and a half (for 
a total of about 2 inches with the Chris Wills adapter) and lengthen the 
control arms an inch.  As I read an old news letter Arch Evans mentioned that in 
the early stages of his kit he was going to make available lengthened control 
arms as the wheel well would accommodate this and also look better.
