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.
