Irregardless of where it is, it can be adjusted quite liberally by the height of the transmission mount. The engine mounts are quite flexible.
As far as I know they are all at about 3* down rake from front to rear.

Yes they all sit at the same angle. Too much angle can cause a severe driveline angle and radiator fan to shroud clearance problems.

Goot enuf! I assumed the several different drivetrain configs had to stay within a certain angle range. This is what I wanted to hear! Stay tooned
