Default RE: Phoenix Giles thrust angle

I really wanted the Sukhoi, but Tower raised their advertised price by $30 and would not honor the advertising, so I got the Giles. I decided to put a YS 53 I had. I will probably put the mount and drill another set of holes in the firewall, fills the old ones and line up the cowl again. BUt I think I will fly it first to see how it flies.
quote" If you kept the 45deg down mounting that is stock then 2 at the bottom of the engine will do."

DOn't quite understand this statement. But I had to remount the mount to put the engine inverted. DOes the mount have any thrust built into it? I must confess I did not check that.
