if ur worried, add about a inch to your engine mounts and leave te gearbox mounts alone, that will raise the front and level itout, and aso icrease ur
ground clearance, mabye add a little extra to ur O/S mount to level it the otherway

As above, just make sure that you can still get the bonnet on! Or you could add a scoop for more clearance??
EDIT - Spelling!!

Make the mounts longer or add a spacer to the chassis.

How far off the ground is the sump? Make sure the wheels are on it too (something I wouldn't do then I'd have the engine 3ft off the
ground once the wheels are on!)

3Ft sound a bit high to me
Or am I missing something???
