My world class trany had the 5 degree tilt to it, but rather than go with the adapter at the bell housing , I made the crossmember the 5 degree. Came out OK.

Good to see you getting there! Man, I can't believe that Ford's solution was to have that angle built into the transmission itself, leaving everyone with your situation. One of "Ford's Better Ideas"! The Chevy boys planned for that tilt (17º in a Camaro) by making a specialty "tilted" bellhousing, leaving everything on the trans STRAIGHT with the world. Let us know what you think once you get to drive it. DD
