(cut and paste the link, I forgot how to post pics)

After asking the same question I learned that the engine will balance very well on it's mounts. It will sag a little at the rear but not enough for the distributor to hit the firewall. For peace of mind, I propped mine up with a piece of 4x4 while I was off doing other things.

I have a couple of other pics if you're interested.
