Re: 73-87 250 to 292 swap, engine mount question

I've read this before on a few other forums. They say you can just move the frame bracket forward (four inches), all the holes are already there. I've studied my current set up, there's no way to "just move it forward". There are extra holes in the upper frame rail flange that will probably work, but the bottom of the bracket will have nothing to bolt down to. It'll miss the cross member completely and interfere with the tie rod.

I know I can fab something, but I'd rather have the factory parts, or at least fab something that looks similar to the factory parts. Did they maybe cheat two inches to the front on the frame bracket and two inches to the rear on the engine bracket?
