Level z-bar/cross shaft?

[SwitchbladeII]

While installing my clutch linkage (all new parts) I noticed the z-bar tilted down a bit on the motor side. Is this normal? The left and right alignment if fine. I am sure it will work ok but would like it to be level. The motor and bellhousing mounts are new. I guess I could shim the bellhousing mounts to raise the rear of the motor to level the bar. I have included a few pictures of the new and original linkage. The original was hacked and looks like it had more of an angle. Am I being too picky? I sometimes get to anal about my projects. I welcome all suggestions and advise.

Yupper!
Too picky!
They sit like that.
Motor torques over to the passenger side which levels it.

Mines like that. And maybe a little worse. You can also check your motor mounts for wear which may effect it

Mine is like that, too

motor mounts are new.

Yeah, too picky! I have installed a bunch of these over the years but this is the first one with the nose off and looking straight in. Good to hear we are all in the same boat! Thanks to all!
