Theoretically, if you level the perches (44” on center) when the pinion is pointing upward 8 degrees, the rearend will bolt in the car with a stock pinion angle.

Agreed, Order some spring perches from Calvert Racing as opposed to using the stock style ones. If you run cal tracs there is extra load on them and they can roll over or collapse. If you have enough power for a Dana a set of those wouldn't be a bad idea cal tracs or not. 68 Barracuda Formula S 340

If springs are identical maybe but SS springs are NOT the same angle and will make one perch a different degree. Same angle puts preload on the SS spring (how they work)
