351W Tilt

I am building a 1965 ford SWB with a crown vic frontend in it. when i put that in i will lose all my motor mounts. what i would like to know is what how far does my 351W need to tilt toward that back to get the oil back to the sump or what was it from the factory.

Closest I can give you is when our town car is sitting level in the garage the transmission pan appears to be level and the engine looks to be tilted down towards the rear a few degrees. You could check the difference on a intake manifold from the carb mounting pad to the bottom. Carb intake mount pad should be level with engine installed, FI doesn't matter.
