Subject:Re: Ground clearance on 15 degree I4 install?

If one was using a kit originally sold by me, there would be no loss of
ground clearance.  Ground clearance loss or gain is a function of the
forward to rear angle you install the motor at.  Some people install
the engine a little lower to minimize the amount of engine cover
modifications that they would have to make - this would result in a loss
of ground clearance.
