Mine is in a totally different car, but the handling definitely improved when I put the engine in low and further back in the car. I had to make a custom oil pan to get it lower. It seemed like a good idea to drop the transmission as well, so I lowered it half as much as the engine (about 6cm for the engine, 3-ish for the transmission.) I fabricated mounts using belleville washers as the vibration isolation: a stack of six between the engine mount and the frame, and then another two above that, so the engine can move a bit in either direction. On the (datsun) transmission, because it's so light, I just had two bellevilles above/two below. Each washer gives me about 3mm of movement.
If you were worried about the driveline angle, could you tilt the differential a little?
