It will work fine. Makes fitting things like exhaust manifolds a bit of
a chore as the diagonals tend to go right through the exhaust
manifold and the water pump intake. Make  a 1/4 scale balsa model to
check clearances. Also there is the heat issue. The rubber will run
close to its 200 F limit on the exhaust side.

Be careful about hogging it out as the bending stress is a maximum right where
it goes between pan and block. That is where you need max thickness
of course.

will kick it around on the computer, any guess where that CG will be?

The CG of prop/psru/starter/engine etc. etc, is somewhere around the junction
of rear end housing and rear rotor housing.
