So because the long block build time, I installed the old engine back to car and keep it on E85.
Got smoke and everything done but never checked drive shaft because made about 3 K miles ago and couldn't even think the problem came last autumn was actually in there. So no big deal, took tranny and tube back to floor and now expect tomorrow will arrive new parts for it.

One pic last summer on trackday..

No more plays with belts and more power (hope so ). Better efficiency. Will build it for a daily use and long road trips, that's why also convert E85 back to gas plus meth..
