Will this headers fit with Holley gen 3 hemi motor mounts?

Pretty hard to say. I think you would have to buy a set and see.
I know that motor is forward about 1.75" with the Holley mounts while the TTI's are designed around a stock location. This alone makes me really doubt they will work if for no other reason than the headers probably won't clear the steering.
I know @Dantra used mounts other than TTI's with TTI's shorty headers and had issues with the DS motor mount and header so my gut says if there is an issue other than the steering, it will be with the DS header clearing the mount.
Here are some pictures of my DS Holley header and motor mount so maybe you can compare.

Are those the hooker shorties?
If so what oil dipstick are you running?

Yep, Hooker shorties.
I have the Holley one but haven’t had a chance to test fit it.

Please let me know if the holley dip stick fits and send some pictures. I have those the same dip stick but it doesn’t fit with the holley manifold
I tried to fit TTI headers on a QA1 k member with the Holley engine bracket. No bueno. Will have to hack the **** out of the bracket to clear the tubes. This was a mock up on the floor, thank goodness.

I’m a little confused. The Holley mounts are for V8 spool mount k-frames only and (I thought) the QA1 k-frame was biscuit mount only. Separate issue, just not following what you were going to do.
Sorry. I forgot to add that this was on E-Body stuff. Point being is different manufacturers parts not playing well together. TTI work with TTI, etc. So, since the Holley stuff moves engine forward, I would think the same issue would arise in an A-Body application.

The hooker shorties are made and sold as part of the holley kit. So yes should work with the holley dipstick as all designed to work together. I have the entire kit just need the sump

I tried to fit the dipstick and discovered that there isn't a way to install it once the headers are on and the motor is in the car. Luckily (for me) this is a mock up so I don't have to pull the engine, I just need to remember this for when the real motor goes in.
I can see why this dipstick wouldn't work with the cast Holley manifolds. It hugs the block and head pretty close. Maybe the OEM truck dipstick? It curves out and around the stock exhaust manifold.
There are some pictures of the dipstick installed in the below thread though. Not with the Holley headers but maybe it will help you.
What Gen III Hemi dipstick tube are you running with a swap pan and headers??
