Ride Height
Where did you guys set your ride height at? I do not have the body on yet, so I am shooting for frame to ground.

Ride Height
Do you have your drive train in yet? If so one of the most critical measurements will be your oil pan clearance. My 428 CJ rides about 4" off the pavement. Last year when I was running a 302 I had about 5 1/2" clearance. If you are running a McCleod bell housing that might set about 1/2" lower than your oil pan. Also check your lower radiator hose that clearance should be a little more than your oil pan.

Oh Buoy,
Are you refering to the slant of the engine after it is bolted to your transmission and motor mounts? If so I think that angle is pre-engineered by Bryan and Barry. You will have some vertical adjustment with your front coil overs.
Other things will determine your overall attitude of your car ie: tire size, adjustment of springs or coil overs, etc.

Thanks for answering Clois. No, I am referring to the difference in ride height from front to back. IE, if the measurement to the frame up front is 4 1/2" then the measurement to the frame in the back is 5" or something like that. I can vision what I am talking about, but cannot put it in words, so hopefully you or someone out there will read my mind.
