Hi there, can someone tell me why when Ford designed the Major the engine doesn't sit straight in the frame rails, it slightly dips down at the front?
Can't understand why it doesn't sit level.

Cheers Andy

Hadn't noticed that. Perhaps to counteract the slight lifting of the front end when pulling implements thus keeping oil in sump level.
