    Yep, Unioncreek, if you look at the carb flanges and then at the edge of the intake (on an FE that's part of the head under the Valve cover) the angles will be different. But on the few T-bird 3x2 intakes that were made those two angles will be the same. Or better yet, set the intake on a work bench and you will see the differences in the angles. The carb flanges are on one plane and the manifold itself are on a different plane.

    The galaxy and other fords mounted the engine on a downwards slant just like techinspector 1 said.
