250 I6 to 350 v8: Engine Towers Placement?

[Boyd]

I've been working on my '72 all day getting it ready for the motor swap...the I6 and three speed manual are out and I'm close to dropping the V8 in, but have a question.

Which set of holes do I install the V8 towers in? And more importantly, I'm not sure which tower is for the left, and which is for the right.

I've tried each tower on each side, both in the forward holes and the rear holes and I can't get the bottom bolt hole in the tower to line up with either of the holes in the crossmember. I can get it close in the forward holes, with the bottom bolt hole just slightly in alignment.

I bought the V8 towers from a member on here, so I'm pretty sure they are the correct ones.


(Excuse the cell phone photos please)

This first pic is looking down at the pass side tower in the forward holes.



This pic is the same tower, in the same position...the bottom tower hole only partially lines up with the forward hole in the crossmember.



Assuming I have the towers on the correct side and the forward holes are what I use, do I just put bolts in the top holes and force the tower toward the frame a little to get the bottom hole to line up?
