I have a question about mounting my engine in the frame. I have an A&C cobra kit car. The engine I am using is a cast block 427 side oiler. I'm using the motor mounts that came with the kit but there is about a 1 inch difference in space between the motor mounts and the frame. The frame is about 1 inch wider compared to the engine with the motor mounts. Not sure if anyone else ran into this problem before or what they did to fix it. The mounts I'm using on the engine are a 3 hole plate with a rubber block with a threaded bolt in the center. They said there for a ford 427 side oiler, but I did have to wobble out one hole for the oil passage.

the plate sounds right but the rubber mount your describing sounds like a full size ford mount, i think you want a mustang mount, try Crites restoration, the mustang mount has two ears on each side for a cross bolt
without pictures its hard to tell what you have or need
