I remember having the same dilema, I think?? I used stock everything on passenger side and vit cast mount onto engine with a offset hole with stock engine mount with offset hole into stock chassis mount with elongated holes. I also cut the chassis to engine mount plates the ones that look like a "w" and rewelded after shorting them so it lowered the engine so it fits without a body lift. I spose dodge 318 engine mounts would be a better way to lower it but didnt have them handy on a sunday arvo.

PASSENGER SIDE
cut the 1.3 mount down and weld it to a new plate!

I dont know how much moding there is to the 1.6 mount, I only had 1.3 ones so I made a plate to bolt to the engine and bolted the 1.3 mount to that after lining it up! then did the same to the drivers side as I had done to the passenger side.
No I dont have clearence issues the the sump AND the gear box bolted up fine, All up it lowers the motor and g/b about 1"
I hate going to weddings because all the grandma's used to poke me in the ribs saying you're next, you're next. They've stopped doing it since I started doing it to them at funerals.
