in a perfect world that may or may not work, but that is doing everything backwards from how it should be. Pinion angle is usually always done last and really one of the easiest to do. You have quite a few factors in trying to get your engine, trans, driveshaft clearance all to mesh together in harmony. engine should be about 3 deg down, that is issue one. sometimes engine height dictates things, so its best to do that first. ex. I mounted my about 5" off stock frame so I have more header clearance. #2 trans is dictated by engine angle so if you want two things to line up to the rear end it could get harry. easier to line one simple rear end up to the bigger parts of the equation. #3 depending on your body off frame, you may not have enough body clearance and will need to tunnel the floor.
