A little desperate here!

I'm having some problems. I posted on my project thread, but I guess it got overlooked.
Here I have my mock up engine in my stock '59. The engine mounts are from Kimbrigde. They are bolt it, but I'd be welding them in if all was well, right now they're just tack welded in place.
The mock engine the way it is in the photo is at it's correct level (photo taken from behind the engine). The truck is level.
With the actual Th350 tranny connected, the bell housing is against the firewall, and the driveshaft will hit the crossmember immediately behind the newest tranny crossmember. If the tranny tailshaft was lower, it would clear that crossmember behind the new tranny crossmember.

I think the engine mounts are too high, but the man at Kimbridge says they should be correct. I did send him some photos, but havent heard from him.

Just tell am I going nuts, but is this engine sitting too high? Do these engine mounts look too high?
This has really slowed my progress, and I'm kind of begging for some advice!
THank you!

I had the distrubutor about .5" away in an earlier pic, but with the tranny connected, I can only get the dist this close.
