Put the output at the same height as stock. Any higher can lead to potential driveline vibration in that chassis.

What I would've done is measured the original trans with crossmember and measured from the crossmember to the center of the output shaft. If the centerline of the t56 from to the crossmember is not the same I would add or decrease the amount by whatever the difference is.
