That's depends on which engine mounts you are using on the car now.
There are the short hard coated mounts used for starter-box set-ups.
Then there are the silver annodized tall mounts (OFN40674) used on the
RTR pull-start engines. If you find you need even more clearance between
the chassis and the pull-start unit, you could also use a set of the Ofna
(OFN30482) engine mount spacers. Of course, you already know about
using the proper diameter flywheel for the engine mount set-up you're
going to be running on the car, correct ? That comes in handy, in case
you might ever want to start the car with a starter-box. But that's up
to you to decide.
