I had to measure off the valve cover of the inline 6 cylinder as the carb is 1 barrel monojet right now and too small to balance the level. My driveway has a negative fall , the bed of the truck is removed and new rear springs and tires have it tail high right now. taking all that in-- it still looks lower to the rear of the motor.
I read the engine tilts back but the manifold on a v8 is made to account for the tilt. Thats why the carb sits level and the transmission is at 4*. I'm not sure about a 6. I was looking at trans mounts. Brothers has one that is taller they even say it works ideal for the new crossmember. All I saw was the $39 price tag the rubber one was $9. You know which one I bought. Made some shims. It's all good.
