My just fantastic lateral thinking solution (please no one tell me that it wont work!!!!!).
What I plan on doing to get around it is slot the engine mount holes on the passenger side 5mm or so and then weld washers on so it can't slip down. This will move the mount down the block as well as lifting the engine so I will get the clearance that I need.
I think the extractors may have been made on the car, most manufacturers make them a universal fit.
