Engine won't line up with engine tower

Attempted to install the 302 but engine mount doesn't line up with the tower on the driver's side. The tower is off about 2 inches toward the cab.

The chassis have multiple mount hole sets, can you adjust the perches to different holes? While a 302 wasn't offered in a slick, the frame rails are pretty much the same layout from 65-79. Many 302s have been installed in slicks so we know it will work.

As long as you have 68-79 Ford 302 or 77-79 351/400M perches you should be able to make it work.

Looks hi-end so far.

You will need to unbolt the engine perches, and move them towards the front of the truck, 3 bolts each side, holes are already in the frame.
