Merv, This line from that site gives you the clue "ideally the operating angles on each end should be within one degree of each other"

If my trig is correct that suggests that the front of the engine can be about 35mm higher than the tail of the gearbox given a 1500mm long engine/gearbox assembly. This should set the engine at 1 degree angle from horizontal. I'm assuming your pinion angle to be at 0 degrees.

Leastwise that's how I interpret it.
