Chassis set up and correct engine position?

I'm trying to finish up my IFS install so I can move to the back of the truck. Question is how many degrees down is ideal for engine placement? It's mocked up at 5* right now but I'm thinking 3* is were it's supposed to be? Can somebody refresh my memory so I can weld these in. Thanks, TJ

Get a manifold on the motor and set the carb base to level.

^^^ Is that the way to do it on an LS series engine??? Remove the intake and set the level on the galley cover and set engine to level or set it at 3 degrees down???
