Default thrust line changes

I'm building a stand off scale biplane, and it has about two degrees positive incidence in the wings and tail, from the thrustline, which as near as i can tell, is zero downthrust or sidethrust , and I have a question about changing the thrustline, due to my engine not quite fitting in the cowl. I'd like to lower the thrustline of the engine about 1/4- 3/8 inch, and I think I could probably compenstate for it by adding a bit of downthrust. The question is, how much, and how to calculate it?
