Default Engine mounting questions

Hey guys, on this truck I am working on someone welded the motor mounts up trying to make a "solid" motor mount. Now that I put the engine back in it looks like it is on the wrong angle, looks very leaned back.
Wondering if someone could put an angle finder on their bed rail, then on a common flat area of the engine somewhere if possible..
2001 Chevy 1500 2wd
The truck on my lift is currently .3* down towards the front, with an angle finder on the bed rail.
The engine is 5.9* down towards the rear, with an angle finder on the valve cover, and on the lift plate I currently have on the engine..

Just looking for a rough measurement if someone has some free time, typically when I build a car 1-2* down angle is max, depending on the overall driveline angle..
I just have a bad feeling someone modified these mounts like this when they installed the 4l80e trans, instead of modifying the tunnel to fit properly.

Thanks guys, Steve @ LRE
