BTW, finally tried the car with 15 size max. First run and it's awesome. Will need some fine tuning to improve.
I haven't insatlled mine yet but note that even with the current 2-piece mounts, the bottom of the slide barrel carb is almost touching (some makes are touching) the top deck.

Lower engine mounts are good but you'll need to mod the top deck AND be aware that now with your flywheel nearly lower than the bottom of the chassis, it may just stall the engine if you go off track. The other thing is when your pitman refuels you by picking your car and placing it somewhere accidentally touching the flywheel.
