Thanks Bob. I suspected it didn't mount dead level for the benefit of the U-joints.
Does ERA wait to weld the header tabs on until after the engine has been installed? They seem to mock up pretty tight, true and even side to side w/o much play. I would like to go ahead and send my off for coating but I haven't installed the engine yet.
Also, sent you an email with a question on the header tabs.
I'll remember about the 30 deg tilt under acceleration.
