Re: 57 Panel "FAKMLC" build

Measuring at the crank bolt or fan snout ... around 3-4 degrees down to rear.
Hard to find good places to really measure accurately ...... but I read on a few forums that the 3 degrees is really from

1) Having carbs engines with a 3 degree tilt in fuel bowl - so to level.
2) having some degree in offset for ujoints

But the 3 degrees itself is not that significant.
Anyway - I decided to place another board on the front crossmember and raise the engine another board (2 total at 0.75") ~1.5".

Wasn't sure ..... seemed high ..... but as I started putting on the front rack/pinion steering ... its rubbing anyway .......

So at this point ..... think I am going to be forced to go up further yet again .... although it still seems high to me ....... maybe just a little ...... else have to rework that line somehow as a flex line or something.
