Help! Engine mount/location question. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was droping the cab on the new frame but the firewall was hitting the distributor. The engine mounts are from a 65 283 v8. I have a 350 or a 327, not to sure any more. When it was on the lwb gmc frame it fit perfectly using the rear 2 holes. Now this swb chevy frame wont allow it. I then tried moving it forward but only the driver side will bolt up. The passanger side mount holes are to the right of the frame holes. I know it has to do with the frame narrowing at the front. Is there anything I can do or do I have to buy after market mounts?

When I say mounts I mean the metal brakets not the rubber.
