camaro subframe install -- need help

Hello

I'm new to this forum and am building a 56 chevy stepside and need some help!

I just laid the first welds on my camaro subframe graft and did a subsequent measure. Everything is level (frame/subframe) however, the anti-dive angle on the passenger side is 7.0 degrees and on the driver's side is 6.0 degrees; an indication that my subframe may be bent.

My understanding is that I should be between 6-8 degrees, but is this difference going to create problems with my steering or suspension? Will my truck pull to one side or the other?

I do not want to go out and buy a new subframe; they are hard to find. And I'm not sure if I can straighten out the one I have.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry I don't have specific photos, but you can see other pics of my build at:
