engine alignment probs

"Gen 3 Hemi Crate Engines (5.7L, 6.1L, 6.4L) /67-76 A-body / 66-74 B-body / 70-74 E-body applications: From the center of the crankshaft to the top of the K-frame, the correct distance is 5-5/8” for A-bodies (5-7/8” with spool mounts) and 5-3/8” for B&E-bodies (6” with spool mounts). The engine is also offset towards the passenger-side. Measure from the center of the crankshaft to each frame rail, the difference should be 3-1/4” for A-bodies (2-3/8” with spool mounts) and 2-1/2” for B&E-bodies."

So, based on your set up (6.1 with biscuit mounts) your measurements are: From the center of the crankshaft to the top of the K-frame, the correct distance is 5-5/8”. Engine is also offset towards the passenger-side. Measure from the center of the crankshaft to each frame rail, the difference should be 3-1/4”. Tailshaft is 2 - 2.5 degrees down from front of engine. And yes, the engine must be in a strait line from front to back.
