292 to 250 swap

[snafu1]

Hello fello forum members. I need some help with a 1968 GMC. It had a 292 in it but threw a rod and put a nice hole in the block. I was not able to find a 292 in my area but came up with a 1970 Nova 250 motor, that was standard bore. I am having trouble getting the motor mounts to line up. I am useing the stock perches that came on the truck and I moved the passenger side perch back, into the holes already in the frame. I used the metal brackets that came with the 250 motor and installed new rubber mounts for the 250. The trouble I have I can not get the passenger side mount lined up! Is there a difference? Am I doing something wrong or do I need different perches? Please help!
Thank you,

Yeah, your lucky it's not the other way around. That right side 292 tower is rare as hen's teeth. And so, valuable. (nudge nudge wink wink)

Thank you all very much for the info and help! Dad67 has the perches I need to make the swap work! Pritch, are you needing a passenger side perch for a 292 motor, I know someone that might have one! Hahaha!
Thanks again to all for the help!
