Engine Angle

[FordFanatic]

On a SBC does anyone know what the angle is between the crank centerline and the plane of the intake manifold ?

3 to 4 degrees

Maybe Im not understanding the Q, but the cylinders are 90* so everything is 45* from center.

Wouldn't crank centerline and manifold be parallel?

Nope !

Correct, not all manifolds are setup flat. If the vehicle had the engine tipped back, many of the intake manifolds were made to level the carbs...

Carb flange is angled 4 degrees from crank centerline on a stock SBC manifold.

Ah the "horizonal" not the "vertical"
