WRONG!!!!
I'm not yelling at you, but the engine does need to sit at and angle.
look at the intake manifold the flat plane the carb sits on is angled up
from front to back. When the engine is installed this plane should be level
or parallel with the ground. Attach the engine at the engine mounts and use
a jack under the trans pan to "level" the engine.
