Default TF P-47 .60 Engine Mount Questions

I am finishing up the fuselage for the TF .60 P-47 and I am stuck at installing the engine. I have purchased the SuperTigre .75 engine and a Slimline Sport Muffler instead of the TF in cowl muffler due to a part not being available. I want to install the engine upside down and have the exhaust come out the bottom of the cowl.
Question 1: Would there be a problem in mounting the engine upside down?
Question 2: Would I have to mount the engine at a different location on the firewall or could I mount it in the same location as the plans call for (45 degree angle) except have it installed vertically?
Question 3: If this slimline muffler touches the mount could it melt the mount?
