Crossmember swap issues

So I have a 64' chassis that I'm putting g an 85' front crossmember onto but running into what I think is a small issue. I'm doing some mock up of the crossmember and finding that one of the holes doesn't line up perfect on the top holes on each side but everything else is fine. Do I need to elongate the top holes?

There are 2 holes that require elongating when swapping in a 73-87 x-member to the earlier frames.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
