Don't know TitaniumR. I don't have those engine blocks to check it out. Perhaps somebody else who has it already can check it out.
You're right on the height of the engine mountings though. I know that the stock engine mountings are 14.5 mm. Earlier on when the 710 was launched, some of us already noted that even with the original standard purple engine mountings, you could lower them by 1 mm still to 13.5 mm. But then you would need precission machine to gound them flat and equal.
Also, the would be some clearance problem with regards to the throttle carb linkage due to the engine sitting lower but I think a simple dremel job would do it.
It would be interesting though to check if the engine monoblock from East is sitting 1 mm lower...

BTW, finally tried the car with 15 size max. First run and it's awesome. Will need some fine tuning to improve. 
Too much power !
