I think you're referring to the Power Angle. That's the front to rear downward slope of the driveline. Gnerally instaleld at 5*. But with EFI it really doesn't matter.

Way back when I built a V-8 ( 283 ) Vega. I think I read something on the downward slope angle of the crankshift which is in-line with the transmission drive shaft. The number that come to mind is 3 to 4 degrees and the angle for the drive shaft at transmission plus angle at rear end yoke has to equal 180 degrees.
