351C swap motor mount problems

Hey guys. I am pretty new to the forum, so I will say thank you to all that reply.
I have a '79 4x4 150 that came with a 300/6
I changed out the engine "perches" to those out of a truck with a supposed 302
Bought mounts for a '79 302.
When I drop in the motor there is way too much clearance between the mounts and the "perches" (too wide)
Any ideas?
Different mounts
Are there different perches for the v-8's?

Thanks again

When I put a Cleveland in a '78 f150 4x4 a few years back as I remember, I used the towers that were in there for the 351M-400 and 302 mounts.

are you sure the perches you got came from another 4x4?
