Hi Jeremy,
Ernst Mfg. makes thrust plates that mount to the firewall behind the engine mount. Very effective.

thrust angles

You can size the shim required to tilt the engine exactly how much you want. For a distance between mounting bolts of W shim thickness/W = .017 per degree of tilt
For example let W= 4". The tilt produced is 1.09 deg per 1/16" washer.
