They’re a 1/2 closer together than they should be but there's plenty of tolerance for that. Also isn’t there a benefit to using later model mounts?

That is what I had to redo today. Mine uses the later style mounts. I swapped out the front end on mine and had to redrill the holes in the crossmember. There is something about this in the FAQ area. Supposedly the newer mounts are much stronger and easier to slip an engine onto. My opinion, go with the newer ones since you have them.
BTW - I have HEI and there is plenty of room between the firewall and distributor.
