As I gander back at this, there are a couple thing I should point out that changed along the way. The upper rear hub bracket changed. It was straight, but interfered with the inside of the tire, so I rebuilt them with an offset to clear to tire. I also raised the engine/trans in it's cradle about 5 inches. Originally the drive shafts were actually dropping from the hub to the trans. This also gives me more rear ground clearance. The very tip of the drain plug is now the only thing that extends below the frame.

I think I have the correct tilt forward on the engine, but I am guessing, as I didn't have a full donor car for the engine, just the engine itself, I couldn't make any measurements. Anyone know if I am close?
