Hello Dai
I have measured (as accurately as I could) the distance from the centre line of the gearbox driveshaft to the highest point of the engine. It comes to 590mm.
So assuming that you want your driveshafts to be horizontal if you measure 590mm up from the centre of your wheel that should tell you where the top of the engine will be.
