David,

Why not say how far the engine is tilted (in degrees) and if you use
the diesel carrier system and bellhousing or its another approach?

After all, you have made you opinion known previously about the various
engine tilt angles when talking about your decision to offer an upright
engine conversion option.

No need to be coy, no need to publish accurate specs (if you are
worried about others copying your setup), but it would be nice to know
more, or at least see an other than top down view of the engine
compartment.

engine.
If you look really closely, you'll see it is not at 15 degrees!  ;-)
