Just out of curiosity, does anybody recall or have measured the angle their engine is installed at? Currently mine is sitting at 1.4 degrees down at the trans. I know most old V8 engines were installed around 2.0 degrees so I am not worried.

I just spent a whole day fiddling with my engine placement to get it where everything had enough clearance. Mine wound up at 1.0 degrees, which coincidentally matches my pinion angle.

Mine is 1 or 2 degrees, can't remember for sure. Matches pinion as well.

thanks for the replies,

I can move mine anywhere between .8 degrees to 2.0 degrees and make everything work. Just planning my trans cross member now. Don't have a full plan yet but I do plan on installing brackets on my new frame connectors and spanning the distance between. I am sure a piece of SCD 80 3" pipe and some 1" X 3" tubing will do the trick.

Thanks again
