Motor Mount, Shell Valley

Fellows, I must be misunderstanding something or missing some parts. I have a Shell Valley Kit and the mounts that are welded to the frame are horizontal plates with two sloted vertical holes in them. I am putting a small block Ford in it and bought the recommended Car Quest part number 31-2342 motor mounts. The problem is that the recommended mount for the engine, where it would normally attach to the frame of the car consists of two parallel vertical plates with two horizontal holes. How is one supposed to get the two together. Is there supposed to be another adapter or something to get the two together, or is this something I must make? Thanks.

Thanks, but the mystery has been solved. There is another adapter included that looks like a piece of angle iron with a tube welded to one side. I had seen them, but thought they looked like an extra part of a door hinge to me, and did not make the connection until someone on these forums pointed it out to me.
