IDK either...I've never had trouble before, but anything's possible I guess...

There are pics in my build thread. Maybe run the engine and try it out to see how much movement you get? Becomes one of those better sooner than too late things I guess.

The motor doesn't move at all, and the exhaust can only move a 1/4" until it hits something, like the trans cross member or trailing arm cross member so I have it mounted pretty snug to keep from rattlin'...
