Looks like the biscuits are the thick truck ones, not the #2266 mount most cars use

When you mount the brackets to your block, the biscuit should be towards the front half of the mount.

Here's a pic of an A body mount, both sides looking down.

If the mount bracket don't orient the holes like that, towards the front, they are on the wrong sides is same width or wrong brackets (look like wrong brackets to me). This is where the 340-360 drivers engine mount ears need spacers or some fabbing to use 318 brackets.
 
Ya my 340 came with these brackets but it was in a challenger.... So I prolly have the wrong brackets.... Do they make aftermarket ones or reproduce ones for cheap? Like $50-$85?
