Certainly at present the tail of the toploader is sitting quite low with ref to the diff flange. I haven't got a motor on the front of it so can't tell until that's in.
The top of the 'chocolate block' rubber mount is roughly level with the top of the crossmember. As far as I can see that is correct, unless someone can tell me I've got it wrong. I may need some spacing anyway to help with driveline angles, but I think the T10/toploader difference is in the side rod arrangement.
I tried a T-10 shifter body with my toploader and I could not get it to work properly. Had two gears and reverse okay but just could not get it to workall the way. I eventually bought a Tiger shifter body and rods and they worked perfectly. The Ford engineers did not make these two compatible.
