Probably about 3/8 of an inch worth. However, you're removing that much
air cleaner to hood clearance and that's a place where you don't need to
lose any.

To do the math properly: Measure (in a fore/aft direction) from the
transmission crossmember mount to the center of the engine block mounts
to get distance A. Measuring from the transmission crossmember mount to
the crank pulley gives you distance B. The amount you raise the crank
pulley will be equal to the amount of spacing you put into the engine
block mounts, multiplied by B/A. I'm guessing B/A is somewhere between
1.3 and 1.5 .

Cheers,
Theo
