With the rear suspension at ride height I got the following data:
Engine / shaft angle: 2°
Shaft / Diff angle: 5°
It looks like I will need to drop the tail of the trans 1.5° to split the difference.
Not an issue as the shifter mounting plate is almost touching the floor pan.
One thing that does bother me is the engine and diff are not parallel at all: 5° difference. I will need to see if this is an issue.

Are u saying it's off side to side from the diff? Not in line?
