OK - now the engine is in, and I have checked the angles. The toploader clearly sits a little differently in the frame than the T10 would have. If I have no engine mount packing but pack the trans mount with a 1/2" spacer, this will give engine/trans tilted down at 1.5°, propshaft at 4°, and differential flange (fixed position) at 3°. I'm happy with this given the constraints of the system. The surgery I performed on the t/l rods means I have good clearance at the crossmember and don't have to notch the aluminium floor.
