This looks eerily similar to the issue I was having. Using those adapter plates, I had to use the rear 6 cyl mounting holes for the perches, and my headers were hitting the perches. I recently found some stock and made some new adapter plates that should allow me to move the perches to the front holes and keep the engine roughly in the same location as your pic. I used info from this post and created some plates that resemble #1. Unfortunately, I haven't installed them yet, so I can't say for sure it's going to work out just perfect. Hope this helps.
