^Basically, ya. Pinion angle is priority over caster.

You can increase your caster by shortening the upper arms, but if this will affect pinion angle, not a huge deal with a stock-height ride, but any suspension lift and you may get some vibration/binding.

The numbers will change a bit during the alignment, even if there were no adjustments, you also don't adjust caster on a solid-axle vehicle by changing/adjusting control arms. The only way to adjust properly is by adding bushings to the ball joints-this is a bit of work though. Can I ask why...

Is your caster the same on each side? Should have a bit more on the right/less on the left to compensate for road crown, usually .5 deg more on right side/less on the left, but since you have a minimal camber lead, I'd say .8 more on the left/less on the right. As it sits right now it looks...

Thanks. My problem is I already own the GC so its a free engine aside from labour. I understand they underwent changes, but motor mounts can be made/swapped without much work, and if the front acc. drive has different mounting, would it not be possible to run the complete GC engine with acc...

Thanks for the quick reply. So this will not work? I'm sure I can make new motor mounts or adaptor plates, but with regard to the accessories, can I just use the GC stuff?
