i am building a dune buggy and my engine is going to be a gm 38000 engine and tranny. my question is if i tilt the motor about 15 degrees example ( going from this angle l to this \ ) with the engine and tranny be properly oiled? my reason is because the the engine is going to be rear mounted and rear wheel drive and if i have it in stand upright angle the drive shafts will hit the tranny when the a arms move up and down.
 
You may end up with excessive fluid collecting in a valve cover depending on location of drain back to pan, cannt really say for sure though.
 
The tranny will be a bigger issue they can't be tilted much or fluid will not get picked up.
