I used a couple of washers to lift the back plate up slightly so it didnt hit the chasis. Was on my old hellfire with a lrp28. Snug it down and was all good.

Yes you can fabricate some spacers to raise the engine just enough so it clears the mounts. I have dione this and it workd fine. but in the eend I just removed the pull start and shaved the plastic back plate with me dremmel and filled in the hole inthe back plate with rtv sealant. Now I just use it as a bump start engine which I like better anywayand I don't have anymore ounting issues no matter what car/truck I put it in. there is also a bump start back plate available that you can buy that will do the same job.
