Default Do all 4.8L-6.0L engines sit at the same angle?
What I'm wanting to know is if all the 4.8L-6.0L engines in the 03-06 trucks regardless of trans/2 or 4wd all sit at the same angle in the truck. Since the bottom of the oil pan is flat, has anyone ever tested to see if all the engines are mounted into the chassis at the same angle? Even a 5-speed truck vs. an auto truck? I do realize the auto vs. manual trucks use different trans mounts but I am trying to determine if they all sit at the same angle. Anyone here happen to know the answer?

I am curious why are you asking the question? Motor angle should really only matter if you were running a carb yes/no?

You're going to put a propeller on the end of your transmission and tilt it way down and turn your truck into a boat car?

if he put the prop on the front he may be able to generate enough lift to make it a flying car/truck/boat/plane

-of course depending on the angle the engine is sitting in the truck
