Hey all I am putting down my first post as I have been a lurker for a long time.  I am in the final assembly stages of my 1958 Meteor Ranchero and am noticing that the engine is sitting far from level and I cannot see if there is a way to fix this short of shimming the fordomatic at the mount.  Is it natural for the engine to have an 3/8+ over 6" lean to the back? Will this cause issues.  The transmission is almost level as measured at the pan of the transmission. Here is a picture of the car so you all can see.
