Your chain length sounds fine to me. I had a Tony and a Kosmic and I was using 106-114 for 77-86 sprockets.

I tried to keep my engine in a similar starting position which was the crank/clutch nut in line with the pod attachment point and then made slight adjustments for chain tension.

I had a wildkart generic mount on the Tony and it would not work on the Kosmic, so I did have to go for an OTK one.

As long as you can get the engine into a position which gives you about 5 cm of overall movement then you should be ok.

Hope this helps
