The correct angle is the one that points the driveshaft (propshaft) at the small gap between the chassis crossmember and the bottom of the trans tunnel under the handbrake. Maybe there's more room on a GT6 but on a Vitesse there's not much margin for error!

: "The engine/gear box angle"
: What do I miss here?
: The input shaft to the gear box should
: be as exactly in line with the
: crankshaft as can possible be achieved.
: And how is the rear gearbox mount a
: factor? The engine and gearbox are
: tightly bolted together. CHnage the
: height of the rear of the 'box, and
: whole engine/gearbos will move as one
: piece.
:
: Do you mean that you wnat that to be
: horizontal? So that the splash
: lubrication in the box does not starve
: any parts? That seems a valid Q, and
: one that I would solve by a trial
: installation of the engine/gearbox onto
: the bare chassis. Bolt the engie up
: forrard, set it horizontal and measure
: where and how jight the rear moutns
: need to be.
