Degrees of engine tilt

Ok, Don't really know where to post this so I'll try it here. I'm putting a '94 12V into a '95 chevy and was wondering what a safe range of engine tilt in degrees from side to side and front to back. The way I have it sitting now it is no more than 4deg off front to back (front higher than rear) and about 2-3deg side to side with drivers side being higher. To me it looks alright, But I just want to make sure.

You are well within the acceptable range - good job!

We need pix when you're done.

The 4BT in Chevy apps. ( same engine, except 4 cyl.) comes stock with an 11 degree side tilt for clearance, so you should be safe.
