Default New engine sitting too high?

I got the new engine in, and it was seeming a little high to me. Granted, it is the FRPP 347 crate engine, and I have been told that the exhaust will raise up a little, but everything was seeming high (like the alternator and radiator hose). The engine also seems to pitch downware toward the rear. I tried getting it to settle in, but it wont. The motor mounts are at the bottom of the hole, so it could settle in about 1/2" more. How can I best determine if it is level front to back? I did level it side to side. Also, has anyone used the Poly engine mounts? If so, did you notice it sitting higher?

Finally, with a tremec transmission, is it necessary to use a spacer?
