I wouldn't have thought that the slight angular misplacement would cause any issues. One andvantage of using rubber engine mounts.
I guess that once you mount the "real" engine along with all its ancilliaries the extra weight would cause it to drop a few mm - it might even gain you the few mm that you want to lower it.
Being able to use standard engine mounts is a big benefit!

Hi Robin,

Well it's certainly no light weight sports car chassis!!

Being able to use the standard engine mounts is certainly a real bonus (and a big surprise ) so I'm going try them with the full weight of the engine before making any other mods.
