Angle of Driveshaft

I'm trying to fab up a mount for my 92 equipped with a T-5 and I wanted to know about how much of a different angle is still acceptable on the driveshaft.

The new mount is looking like it will raise the transmission a full two inches, which is quite a bit of change in that joint.

Anyone got an idea?

Thanks in advance.

You guys have been GREAT so far and just reading the board has helped me with alot of stuff. I've only had to post a couple questions out of the 15 or so I needed answered when I came here. I just want you to know that I appreciate all the help anyone has given me.

not sure there is a spec for it, but 2" sounds excessive. do a search for pinion angle since it plays off the DS location and i think you'll find a answer along with a pic or two.
