Is your firewall hammered in anywhere?
Your engine looks like it's in the back set of holes. That's no big deal for a small block, but I've heard you have to modify the firewall to get a big block in those holes.

That's a small block mount, big block mounts bend down in that location...I'll see if I can dig up a pic..

Andy, I think that's an inline 6 mount. If it's in the rear holes and all three bolts line up, it's a 250 mount.

My passenger one is clearanced like that now as well...but it's also been reinforced along the back side. Has that tower been beefed up elsewhere?
