I hear your pain Rusty.  I have offsets in both my engine mount and vertical stab.  I'm a RD-1B guy forevermore.

Well, 'bout ready to place my order for my Monster 76/88 prop from Performance Propellers.  Tracy's is 74/88 but he feels that with the 2.85 even longer diameter props can be accommodated.  If too much prop, Clark Lydick will trim the diameter.  So will ship my RD-1B to Tracy to have it converted to a 2.85 RD-1C after I finish attending a couple more flyins in May.  Hard to get his "vertical" take off out of my mind.

Do you have a left offset in your mount?  I sure wish I didn't, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.  Now I just can't stomach the monumental re-work that would be required to go back to zero offset.
