Hi, I recently learned that your orbit needs to dip below eve’s to get a useful gravity assist, but I was wondering how I could consistently get a good transfer and assist from eve. Questions I have are things like what angle do I want eve to be at when I make the node and how far below eve should my periapsis be?

Your orbit doesn't need to dip below Eve's. You can use the difference in orbital planes between Eve and Kerbin to get some use out of a worse Eve encounter
The standard eve gravity assist transfer window is year 2, day 160

In that case would the assist only change my plane and not add any prograde energy?
