    I'm reassembling the front end. Are the tie rods supposed to be level or angled up to the bellcrank? Mine are about 3.5" higher in the centre than the outsides. Is this normal? Will the steering operate properly with this angle?
    I've attached pics.

    You have no drivetrain installed! It will settle down a great deal once you drop the power package back into the frame. A Little downward angle won't hurt much, but if it is too severe you are going to have some hellacious bump-steer issues.
