Are the mounts on the front side of the ears on the block?
I think if the mounts are on the front side of the bosses, the motor would be too far back. Mine are on the rear. I'm gonna stick with wrong year mounts or wrong K Frame in the car. Schumacher should be able to give you some insight into what to look for to determine which K frame you've got. I don't think the bosses were ever changed on any of the blocks, so it would have to be the year of the K frame that determines which mounts you need.

I think I'd mount the trans where it would be if you had not slotted the trans mount then with the front suspended slightly see if you can ID if it's a kmember problem or the schumaker mounts. With the trans in the above correct OE location will the idler/headers clear?

The rubber isolaters are rotated 90 degrees from where they should be. The the little bump on the isolater? Theres a corresponding hole in the bracket for it to fit into.

Yeah, I know it's supposed to, but the dimple and the recess in the bracket didn't line up - that's another problem, but I could have lived with that.
And I've thought about how rotating or flipping the mounts themselves may affect this, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't affect how far forward or back the engine is - the distance between the two studs is always the same.
And, as someone else alluded to, the problem where the Idler doesn't fit properly in the recess pretty much has to be an issue with the engine mounts - The engine moves with the K-member, not independently.
