Who designed and made this PSRU? Moving the prop shaft up would be a big
help in keeping the engine totally enclosed in the cowl without bumps.

Not really. You gain mostly useless space on the top of the engine
while losing valuable volume under the engine for the cooling system.

It is easy to mount the alternator on the cool side of the engine
and cut down the 2nd gen water pump. If you are using an RX8 engine there
is no need to cut down the water pump as it is already low profile.

There are a very few airplanes where space at the top of the engine under
the cowl is marginal. The KIS Cruiser  is one of them and so are some versions
of the Lancair. I forgot what airplane you are building.
I may have a 3D layout for it so I could check your fit and space
requirements.
