    There is not a front-motor, rear-drive car out there that is factory original in which the motor is not tilted down at the rear. On any Ford, it's usually about 3 degrees. The factories do that to swing the transmission down to provide leg room in the front seat area and to lower the driveshaft for leg room in the rear.

    If the setup you're looking at is a Ford unit, I can guarantee that the manifold is cut on a 3 degree angle so that the carbs will sit level on the motor.
