Default RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?

I got my UCD46 about two weeks ago and i finally started getting it together. I ran into a problem when installing the engine. I have a Saito 65 NIB that was looking for a home. The instructions say to mount the engine so that the backplate of the spinner is 5" from the firewall. My engine sits 5 3/16 from the firewall. I've moved it back as far as it will go. The back of the cowling just reaches the front of the fuse firewall, close to leaving a gap on the right side. The cowling wants to install to the left. Is there left thrust already incorporated in the firewall? I would like to know how you people are getting those OS 91's and Saito 100's mounted. If the Saito 65 isn't strong enough, I have a Enya 80 but the front mounting holes extend past the front of the engine mount. I'm using the mount that came with the kit. The crabs on those bigger engines must sit high enough to clear the engine mount.
Thanks,
Maekju
