engine angle

[jpsnblood]

Allrighty then
I have frame horns removed. I have Transdapt crossmember motormount trimmed to fit. I may get so lucky as to be able to use 2 of the 4 shock mount bolt holes to position the crossmember.
What I need to know is the proper forward and aft angle to mount the engine at. I know I have read it a dozen times. But I can't remember.
If the rain will stop. I will drop the engine and tranny in AGAIN sat. My google search was fruitless.
I appreciate any info yall can give me.

Is your t-case still mounted? If it is, bolt your transmission up to the short shaft to get the front to back distance then line the transmisison up left/right and level with the tcase. That will get your cross member correct.

Then match up the yoke angles between the trans and t-case by raising or lowering the engine front. When that is correct, the carb mount on the engine should be within a degree or two of perfectly level in all directions. Up to about 3-4 degrees backward is ok. The more back it goes, the more valve cover gasket leaks and rear valve seals will cause the oil to come out.
