I am installing a different engine.
What is the angle of the output shaft of the transmission?
My pinion angle is 6 degrees with no engine.
Thank you!

Re: Engine angle
Try looking over the Body Builders Layout Books...they might help. While they don't specifically give a measurement in degrees, they do specify how much lower the transmission output shaft centerline needs to be below the top of the frame.

Re: Engine angle
Stock angle is 4.66 degrees...its on those frame dimension sheets, but hard to pick out.
