Once again I phrased it wrong. Theoretically if the transmission
assembly and floor were both dead level you wouldn't need any tilt in
the jack. The greater the angle respective to the floor, the more tilt
required. I did not mean to suggest leveling the transmission was
necessary or even possible in many cases.

XK120, shudder. But they were so classy... Never heard of a Moskvitch
but from some of the photos it looks like a rebranded 1962 Rambler Classic.

Okay, you've mentioned them. Read on......

Why not just use the correct DIY, from the place you mentioned?
Section 2 : W59 and R150 Transmissions 4RUNNER

You could sign up (it's free), and access info on manymanymanymany cars + trucks.
(Lemme guess... you didn't know they had repair info?)

I didn't but then, it's a different country to the one I live in.

What I saw as being useful was they give a good rundown on all things
you need to think about when removing the gearbox. A lot of people, when
removing a gearbox, pay scant consideration to the effect that
engine/gearbox tilt have on underhood bits and pieces; top radiator
hose, wiring, linkages, etc.
