I got a pair of universal type of motor mouns for my 1973 302 and i put the motor mounts on to the block first but i only put the bolts in a little bit because the ears on the motor mount needed to bent a little bit.....when i completly titened them to the block i had alot of problems like that so....try to maybe bend the ears on the motor mount....that is if it is the same shape as the mounts i have...i'm not for sure
