Default custom engine mounting?

Hi, I wanted to know what the proper method would be to figure out the driveline angles, for example, where would i measure the engine as apposed to the car body and how could the angles and height of drivetrain affect the car or wear on driveshaft u-joints..

thanks

I'm leaving that to my chassis guy but Rosslers website has this on it.

Ok, that sounds like a good way to set my pinion angle, i guess thats better than doing it based off the driveshaft??

Isn't the crank, transmission input, transmission output, driveshaft, rear pinion yoke all supposed to be in line under accelleration?

I thought that is why we set PA at -2 for stock suspension at rest.
