It'* also going to be hard to use the transmission'* weight because you don't know where the center of gravity is.

If the CV has 500ft. lbs. applied to it, how much lifting force is applied to the front mount and at what angle? Also note that the mounting face of the front mount is one inch higher that the centerline of the CV and rear mount. I assume the wet weight of 375lbs for the drivetrain may apply.

Maybe you can convince him to tackle it when he gets back from my home state?
