It's my understanding that the engine needs to be tilted back between 3 & 5 deg but I still need to research driveline alignment for my build since my motor is only resting in the frame and ride height is yet to be established. I would search the tech sections of the forums on here. There are probably multiple threads and 1000s of posts on this subject.

It's learning about all these details and importance of them that makes this stuff fun!
