You may have to flip them side to side. What plates you went with?

I think I had the short-wide mounts Vs. the tall-narrow mounts ?
I added 1/2" spacers between motormounts and block then leveled the motor to the car (Left to Right) and only had 1/2 a bolt hole from mount to frame stand....opened the up a fuzz and good to go.

Big Brown dropped off my starter from Summit, got that in. ($129 and no core beats $225 w/core locally)

Installed coil packs and spark plug wires (3 need sleeves and 1 hits booster so need to move coil packs )

Converter bolted up

Relocated MSD box....looks like it's going where the stock battery placement would be
