early A body engine swap

Question then remains, if the transmission crossmember and mount are both correct, why is the engine sitting too high? Issue being, that the header tubes hit the frame rail from below. If the trans mount is broken (which is 100% possible looking at the state of the engine mounts :lol: ), wouldn't replacing it push the transmission also higher, making the header clearance issue even worse?
The trans mount looks correct for 64-66, rubber is cracking not sure if split through, you will have to check. rear leaf spring front location looks stock. Time for testing, install the thicker insulator & check for clearance and driveline angle. If pipe is hitting frame, you have a few choices use thinner insulators and modify trans mount down, modify header tube for clearance, my last option is insert shim between K frame and frame rails. I would not use sold mount if driving on street.
