35 Dodge KC - correct engine mounting

[dmgoulet]

Hi. I am trying to make a rear crossmember for my truck using the stock bell housing. The front of the engine is easy to locate (manual crank hole line up to pulley nut). The rear is a different story... If i align the clutch pivot shaft level horizontally, the rear of the transmission appears too high and might hit the cab floor (if the cab were on the frame). IS the clutch pivot supposed to be level between the frame and engine? If so, I can complete the crossmember construction... if not, any suggestions?

thanks

Mine angles downward to the engine by maybe 1/2" to 3/4".
