So after removal I can't line the 3 bolts back up. If the two in the top rail of the frame line up the bottom one is too far towards the truck centerline. If the one on the bottom is lined up the top two are pushed toward the outside edge.

Was I wrong in assuming the 230 straight six mounts would work for what is essentially a SBC?

Not having a proper benchvise is beginning to be a pain in the butt. I'm beginning to think both mounts are bent. Time to try and find some.
