have an angle finder. Picking one up tomorrow before welding the mounts in. Looking for feedback.
The truck is an FJ60. The motor, 4.8 mated to factory 4 sp via the Ranger Overdrive.
 
It appears that you are very high overall and way too high in the front. The motor wants to sit level front to back and side to side.

Looks to be too high. You also need to check your hood clearance if using the stock truck intake manifold. As NCFJ stated, ideally the engine should be close to level, for driveshaft and pinion angles. Here is where mine ended up.

Hard to say based on your pictures, how's oil pan clearance at full bump? Let's see the belly pan and driveshshaft angles.
