'73-'76 Duster Big Block 727 Tranny Crossmember

Having issues with my automatic transmission cross member/tranny mount (spool) in my '73 Duster. I have motor all bolted in (big block K-member with spool mounts) and I am about a 1/2" short of being able to put bolt in the spool mount in the cross member.

Any body got any pictures or ideas as to why I am that far off??

I have a picture, but no hosting site for the picture to be able to post it here so you can see the dilemma!! Working on that!!!

I appreciate the help/comments/pictures!!!
