Need help....Motor mounts not lining up??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Here's a couple of pics of what I'm dealing with. I'm trying to mock up my motor but the holes aren't lining up. Ece ls swap mounts going into a 67 that originally had an I6 motor. With these mounts I'm supposed to drill one hole in the cross member. When I line up the one bottom hole the mount sits too high from the top of the frame. I'm completely lost here. Your help is appreciated!

Think I would email some these pics and verify all the info with ECE to make sure those are in fact the correct mounts. I would also try fitting them to the motor then lower them with the motor/tranny/drive line (if you have it) to see where your at...Might get lucky and have to drill three holes instead of one...?

Those are '73 & up mounts. They are not a direct bolt in.

I bought them off of a guy who had them on his 68. He said they bolted right up. Would I be fine notching the frame to get the top bolts to line up?

Thank you for the links, but I'm still a bit confused. The brackets I have seem to tall and those links don't address that problem.
