Karen,
Since no one else has answered your question I will make an attempt to help. I am not very familiar with the Contemporary chassis I don't know exactly how their engine mounts are put in. But to set an exact height is very hard to do. Main things are to be sure that when your air cleaner and carb are on they will clear the hood when it is closed. Be sure that you have the transmision and motor lined up, and this applies to any transmission, stick or automatic. On my Classic Roadsters I had to have the engine mounts cut off and welded about 1" lower so I could get enough clearance for my air cleaner, and then I used some kind of engine mount that made it set lower on top of that. But that was so many years ago I don't even remember what all I did. Now they are just making the hood scoops larger. I am guessing by the way you worded your question that you don't have the body on the frame yet. If possible, try setting the body on and looking at the top of the carb and what clearance you have.
