i remember a discussion on xrtwo.com and compared the ka and puma against bc boxes and showed how the non bc boxes tilted the engines at some degree.
prob won't cause any issue really though, just engine will sit higher due to having to re-triangulate with respect to cradle and gearbox.

Sean all I'm doing is returning the cradle to it's original position, the IB5 box pulls it up at the back so I will be dropping it down.
