Default Engine tilt

Is there any engine tilt in 24s? had some Risers/pipes fabricated and they are off by two inches. Another pantera owner noted that looks like engine is tilted upwards towards the transom. Outdrive alignment bar slides right in, etc. Took out a 502 that was on race mounts. Dropped in a 454/496 stroker engine, which dropped right in. When looking at pictures with horizontal/level lines and then the angle of the engine, looks like if tilt engine level, pipes might line up. Any feedback?

Did you get this figured out?

Yea, we had the risers reworked and still had to put small wedges in to make the risers hit the ports. So far so good. No issues to report. New engine is running good and strong.

Not the same exact boat but the engine in my 24 Superboat looked to be tilted downwar in the front too. I think it is because the stringers are not parallel with the gunnels.
