Drive line angles are basic and summed up in just one word for ALL the important parts involved. The one word is parallel. ALL of the important parts are a total of Two, the drive amd the driven. Driven is the pinion and drive is the transmission out put.
A drive shaft that's correctly phased and balanced can run up or down hill it don't care.
The crowning jewel of the hot rod, well that needs to look right and does not need to be at a specific angle. Theres nothing mandatory except parallel.
Once it's all together and you must have the carb level send it out and have it machined to true level

Ever notice that carburetors on a blower motor are parallel with the crank?
Well **** the bed on the level and them degrees working out

There's a area within establishing ride height,stance and clearance that will shove stuff into the space of another causing all sorts of grief.

Raising an engine for road clearance because the ch***is low means you'll be in for some floor work and a big tunnel.

Theses hot rod things sort of fit together really well when the oil pan rail is about level with the top of the frame rail for an A T or 32 ch***is.

Start with a clear spot in the shop. Set the frame rails down, drop the engine pan on some 2x6 @ 5-1/2 " now raise the frame up till the top is even with the engine pan rail and that's a great place to start from. Measure up the drop you want for crossmembers depending on the parts you'll be using.The springs will break in and settle down nice and everything fits, the water pump risers help with the obvious fan to radiator issue.been done like that a million and Two times.
Minor tweaks from that starting position are no big deal, but when we start making major changes from that starting position then things get challenging. Every part of a nice hotrod needs to flow and work well with its neighboring parts.

Well there's another can of worms. Pics look like there is a lot of room between the shroud and fan mount on pump. Fan should be halfway into the shroud. Looks to me like the engine could be moved forward a lot. Again maybe the angle of the pic is deceiving, but as it looks now, the firewall will need to be recessed quite a bit. While you are moving mounts for proper angle you may want to look at that. With the limited space in these old cars anyway, the less engine setback the better. They also make extensions for the pump shaft. 1"-2" clearance should be good.

Thank you really like the set up .On the hurst style mounts dont you have to do the trans mount different could you possibly tell me the ground clearance on your oil pan .set up is really nice

My oil pan has 7" and the ****** pan has 6" of clearance.

Six inches is great if you are building a four wheel drive. Four inches is too high.
