I'm not sure what you mean by centerline, but the only definition that makes sense would be with respect to horizontal, not vertical, and obviously, it should be centered horizontally. Vertically my crank centerline is 2.375" below the top of the top longeron, which leaves about 1/16" above the fuel pump, and minimal room for intake manifolds. I'd consider that as high as you can put the engine and still have manifolds that enter into the top like the stock Corvair location.
