Motor Twisted

Having reinstalled the complete power train in my refinished chassis, I was
eyeing things up when I noticed:

The engine seems to be twisted left to right with respect to the drive shaft!
The rear of the motor is further left than the front - as viewed from the
driver's seat.

I understand universal joints in drivelines should have their end flanges
parallel.  It would appear mine are not.

I tried loosening all motor mounts to twist the motor - but there is no play
in the mounting holes.

Any concern here?  Any ideas?

Cheers, Fred
