I think I have it correct. I mounted it 1" forward of the original 283 for more room at the back of the engine. It is about 1/2" higher than the original for oil pan clearance with a 4 degree front to rear angle. I used the original factory hydraulic engine mounts that I connected directly to the front cross member and are out of the way of everything. I fabbed a new transmission cross member and re-designed the e-brake gimickus. The stock exhaust manifolds with cats and y-pipe all connect without interference as does the stock AC compressor. I had to change the PS pump though.
I will start a thread soon with the details.

why the 4 degree angle? is that what is required or is that just what you needed for your application. can you explain?
