I ordered a set of Holleys new 1973 to 93 D 150 5.7 Hemi conversion mounts and they do not Fit for [censored]. This is a rolling frame so I have plenty of room to move things around and the only way I could get it on the mounts was to leave the isolators loose on the frame and worm it around to go get the studs in the engine side then let it down. Very frustrating to say the least and had the front clip been on it would have been way worse ! Also I am using 2018 Ram 5.7 and driver side exhaust manifold hits the frame{will get notched } and brake proportioning valve is right there also.

Did you watch their video on the mounts?
Apparently they moved the engine forward to facilitate some stuff.

Yes i saw the video but the mounts do that. The brackets for the 5.7 hemi that bolt to the block are supposed to set on the factory rubber isolators mounted to the stock frame in the stock position which I bought the crossover to the part number supplied with the block mounts. I built brackets to put a 5.7 hemi in my 1965 coronet in 2007 and they work with the factory isolators ,so I thought I would save myself a little time by buying these. Not so much !

Update that might explain my problem but still unsure. I went to Bouchillon to look at their swap mounts and they have a pic of a frame with 2 sets of mounting holes and the rear holes are to be used which the holley kit says to use rear set of mounting holes. Heres the problem with my deal I have 1984 and 1987 frames that I took the original 318 engines out of and neither of the frames look like the one in Bouchillons picture. The rear set of holes are wider apart and I believe that is where the problem is. Cutting these up to make them fit my frame mounts !
