Ummm... Not sure you want to go this route...

I suspect you might need to either re-align the entire drive-line (gearbox & rear-diff), or at a minimum it will put a hell of an angle (read - "force") on the ends of your short drive shaft. Definitely not a good thing!

I vote either:
Slightly bigger scoop... (easiest fix)
Or
Mounts that might drop the engine lower in the frame (this may require some fabrication, and you may need to re-check the ground clearance height of you bell-housing).
Or
As you suggested Short stacks - how much power will you honestly notice you've lost if your running a KC-482?
Seriously, try keeping your pedal to the floor for more than 3 seconds straight. Bet you or your tires run out of balls before your engine runs out of steam

Kind regards,
