818 Engine Position

[schukar]

Is the engine/transmission mounted parallel to the ground in the 818 build? (It looks like it angles slightly down-hill toward the back in the donor, but I neglected to get a measurement before I tore it down.) What is the height of the axle connection at the transmission? I'm wondering if the axles run parallel to the ground.

I appreciate any help; thanks in advance.

FFR has the position opposite of the donor. In the 818 the engine trans tilts forward (toward the front of the car), in the donor it tilts backward (toward the rear of the car). Depending on your ride height, the axles may not run parallel to the ground, its fine.


Sgt.Gator has some great info here. Read through it.
