Mounting g-62 to Giant p-51...

I'm in to process of mounting a G-62 to my "Top Flight" GIANT P-51. I have purchased the Gasoline Engine Mount from "Great Planes" to cut down on vibration and it lines up exactly with the factory installed blind nuts on the firewall......... this is good. The problem is however that the four holes predrilled by the factory, sit approx. 3/8" to the right, away from the center line, if your looking at the firewall. If I mount the engine to the center of the engine mount, the engine will be off approx. 3/8" unless I "cock" the engine via making two of the standoffs diff. lengths to center the hub, or I can just move the engine to the left 3/8" to center the hub, but this will make the standoffs interfere w/the bolts that attach the engine mount to the firewall. Hope this make sense to someone.... Thanks
