RCV 60 on world models P82
I am putting a set of RCV 60's on a World models P82 Mustange.
It had a set of OS50's on it. Is there any special work I need to do when changing motors, such as engine angles? Going to be alot of work mounting engines.

I think your biggest problem will be getting enough prop on the engines. If you used the RCV 58 engines with direct drive it would probably be easier, but with the 60 engines turning at 1/2 crank speed you might well end up having to use four-bladed props to get enough engine load. You'll be limited in diameter unless you really extend the gear legs.
Just my thought.

4 bladed props
I got 13x13 apc 4 bladed props for it. Im going to extend the gear about 1.5 inches. I was worried about the engine angles.

Shouldn't have to change anything. If you maintain the cg, then it should have the same flight characteristics. Might feel a little heavier in its actions, due, obviously, to being a little heavier. If the aerodynamics are good with the original set up, changing engines wont change that.
