motor plate phasing?!?!?!?!?

slight edit; most factory cars had the rocker level to the ground. In a race car, this may not be the case, in this case, the front of engine can be nosed up to compensate for the "rake". Also rear of the trans can be raised or lowered. The angle of the trans/driveshaft should be the same (but opposite) of the driveshaft to the rear. Drag cars with lots of torque, the angle on the rear pinion would be "nosed down" a bit more from the ideal angles. Obviously, the ideal driveline would be almost perfect straight line, with the exception for the rear suspension travel, drive shaft would point down slightly to compensate for upward travel just a bit.
