    With the tall mounts you would be raising the cars center of gravity even higher
    presuming a street stock
    I would use the lower ones

    Tilt /angle unless you are running a track like Slinger WI.
    I'd put it level

    just an opinion

          High as you can. Set the mounts with the intake, carb and air filter on the motor. The hood sits low to the cross member on these cars. If you can put a hole in the hood; watch the header clearance also.
