The important measurement will be at the back of the trans. Using the diff input flange as a reference, elevate the tailshaft so that the trans output flange is parallel. Not necessarily inline, there will be offset, but parallel. Any engine angle measurements we take will only get you in the ballpark.
HTH, Steve
Oh, and to add to that, a driveshaft shop told me the parallelism isn't actually the big deal it's made out to be. He said don't worry about it???
