I'm on the fence about whether to get an Alston x-member and modify it or just build my own. I may have to flip the FC bracket upside down to position the mounting pad lower - or make a spacer. I'm sure the solution will come into focus right after I've spent a bunch of $$.
You are in good company here. I've experienced the phenomena on more than a few occasions.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
