I don't know if you remember, but I moved mine up 3 inches much for the same reasons, but I also moved up the front cross brace 5" because of the engine being closer the pulleys and fan belt were too close and would have hit the cross member. How did I know that? I trial fit the motor after the new motor mounts.
Looking forward to your progress.
