From what I've seen and read most engines with a carb intake, with the carb mounting flange level, the engine has a 3* tilt front to rear, with the rear lower.
How much of that can you take away if you needed to, to get the drive shaft u joint angles into spec. before you have problems.
Some point out oil drainage to sump (rear sump) but most trucks have a rake to them with the rear higher. killing any oil flow to the sump from that tiny 3* tilt .
So, in a car that you might have to shim up the transmission mount to raise or lower the tail shaft . how much many degree's do you have to keep of that 3 tilt. before you have issues? and what issues.
I can see huge angle changes being a problem with fuel bowls. but if you needed to set the engine at 1degree and the carb mounting flange is now tilted 2 degrees down at the front of the mounting surface, is it really going to be a big deal.
