Frame mounting.

I can't believe those two front motor mounts lined up. Does the head stay line up as well (it's out of frame in the pic)?

Since the motor is likely to be at a different angle than it was designed for, you might need to recalibrate how you check the oil level. The sight glass might not be reliable anymore and the dipstick never was. You could make a mark on the dipstick that represents full at the new angle, with a fresh litre of oil in it. Just thinking out loud.
