I have noticed that the motor sits off to the passenger side of the engine bay in the early As most notably with a 273, I thought there was a problem but have noticed it in several cars with a 273,,,,or do we all have a problem ?

I think I read on the TTI header site that A body engines are offset to the pass side 5/8 for 63-66's and 1 1/4 for 67-76's. I found the reference when I thought mine was wrong.

Sorry this has nothing to do with it. Look at old Jeep transfer case to rear or front axle sometime. They are angled horizontally. "Why it works" is that the shafts are PARALLEL which is what makes U joints work "proper."

My old 62 FJ-40 had a centered rear pumpkin and offset transfer case. There was a huge horizontal offset between the two.
 
and if you have a A body circle track car makes it harder to set up with too much right side weight
 
Thanks all for the explanations,I knew something was off when I cut the hood for the scoop and saw the air filter wasn’t centered ,big relief.
Thank you.
 
as long as the output shaft of the trans is parallel to the pinion (minus the spring wrap compensation) your good. \-----\
