Default Engine Position

Hi Guys and Girls.
I have a Lazer 3d, If u dont know the plane, it comes in a kit, and i spent 4 weeks building it,
The engine mount is made from wood(Not good) The other day i went out for a fly, and got the starter going managed to break this engine mount, Slight crack in it,,
What i want to do is put a hard plastic engine mount. But to do this i have the move the Prop shaft about 2 inces lower than its original position. So that i can get the front of the fuel tank through the firewall ect,,
Was wondering if this is going to make a big diffrence in the way the plane flys,
The angle of the engine will remain the same, but the central position will be a little lower.
Any help appreciated..
Thanks
