Hi Simon.
Yes it will be but don=E2=80=99t mount the engine to the stand at the back o=
f the block. Make a plate to fit the engine mount on the exhaust side and we=
ld it to suitable short stand-offs to allow it to be bolted to the face plat=
e of the stand.
With side mounting the cantilever is quite short. Mounting on the exhaust si=
de will allow ancillaries to be fitted easily on the tapper/dizzy side.

If you want to be clever adjust the relationship of the engine mount to the f=
ace plate to try and get close to centre of balance. It will have an offset u=
pward and backward of a few inches.
Good luck.
