Default Stearman Problem

I have an old Sterling Stearman 60" wing 60-90 size engine. Its heavy...very heavy, so I put a os 1.08 for added nose weight and power. Heres the problem... Everything is ok except it wants to roll to the right real bad. I have full left trip to hold it level. Now, it is a little out of balance R to L but not that much. I think since I have a larger engine on it, the P factor is coming into play. Would shimming the engine thrust angle help this?
