Default Engine Placement

Hi Guys
I’m putting together a Seagull Edge 540 and will be using a DLE 20.
I want to use a wrap around Pitts muffler which is causing me a problem.
I can’t set the engine at the specified place because the can of the muffler is touching the front edge of the engine box. This means that the engine will have to be set about 3/16 of an inch below the correct place. I’m not too concerned if the cowl doesn’t look quite right, but I would appreciate your thoughts on what, if any effects this might have on how it will fly.

Thanks

Don
