Now I don't really mind if an engine sits not quite level in a chassis, IF it was designed to do so. However I have a question, and it's easy if we assume the engine was meant to be level with the frame.

Suppose I remove an engine, and then re-install it. If it were level in the chassis before I took it out, could it go back in "off-of-level"?

Reason I ask, is my clutch fork is hitting the floor/tunnel. I did install a new tranny mount, and it is slightly taller than the old one. However, the new one meets the dimensional spec of the old one. I assume the old one had softened and collapsed a bit.

I had also removed and re-installed the engine during a time where the old mount had partially collapsed.

So, as my engine drops in with conventional mounts (traditional...picture a rear wheel drive pick-up installation) and frame perches, could it have wound up a little low on one side, and a little high on the other, or is this impossible as the angled mounts will find their proper location?

Seems to me I went thorugh this on another vehicle once before, and the engine always dropped in and landed in the same spot....or did it? Memory isn't great....sigh...

Level left to right. Carb level, front to rear. Engine might be tilted back a couple degrees, but carb is level.
