This might not have been necessary to make the engine fit into the car?    I 
know George Gordon-Smith had the same operation performed on his car to raise 
the engine and keep the bellhousing from hitting the ground.

Think carefully before proceeding!   Now might be a good time to consider 
switching to a GT40 bellhousing and clutch/flywheel, which are much smaller in 
diameter and will end those worries for good when you lower the engine back 
down.   The bits are available from Safir, but are rather expensive.   As you 
might imagine!
