Nice engine any way, cam vernier mean  special cams  ?
  i take this was not a sorted kit car !
 most off the props are the same have a donut , how much room is there under there , take a pic .
  could the engine be moved over or the box section cut out and moved to side ,seen that done before
 on it fitint of retro firt engines .
 some one else may know about a prop having no dounts just UJs

Does it have a centre bearing? If so check the bracket is on the right way round. From memory if irs the wrong way round it will pull the shaft slightly off centre.

yes it has a donut and a 2 piece prop

meant to say  definitely sorted  just the prop has started to foul as the modification as the mounting has got old an worn

 If that is all it is   !! just renew all the worn mounts  ..

the mounts where custom made
