If you set the engine on the front motor mount and level the carb base, the angle of the crankshaft will self-correct. There is a slight downward angle to the crank and the trans output shaft. If a U joint does not have a slight offset the needle bearings will not rotate on the cross. I believe there is a good article somewhere in the tech tips section of the forum on setting up driveline angles.
