Default RE: ENGINE MOUNTING

my goal is to get the prop to the center of the nacelle. This would require me to mount the rear of the engine 5/16" to the side of the firewall. Will mounting the engine in the way described have negative effects on the mount. I understand that there will be more of a moment on the mounting arms since the thrust of the crankshaft will be a farther from the center of the mount.
