Tilted engine in 69 gmc

I just got done putting a 350 into my truck with a four speed behind it. Im not sure if the old set up had this isue or not but it seams like the engine is tilted to the back quite a bit. Is this normal? I had to use a crossmember from a 70 th350.

Most engines do tilt back. Can you post a pic so we can see if it is a normal tilt?

Aren't the crossmembers different from stick to auto?
