om...
I am planning to install a subaru (170HP) in my C-120 on floats.I
realize that the offset of the engine should be 3 to 4 degrees but the
tilt I am not so sure of. The extra thrust should cause a reduction
from the original 85 HP application; I should think. Any suggestions
out there.

How are you getting around puttting a non-certified engine in a certified
plane?

Note his email address... "*.ca" domain, i.e., Canada. They're allowed to
do more with the smaller aircraft, I believe.

It's a category called "Owner-Maintenance," designed to keep
those older airplanes flying even though parts are hard to find. The
airplane essentially becomes a homebuilt. There are drawbacks: no
flights into the U.S., for instance.
I don't think he should bother with any engine offsets to start
with. The Cessan 172 uses none, like many others. Bigger concern would
be the strength of the structure. The 120 was a pretty light airplane.
