    Agreed...

    All 289/302/5.0 block's are all the same as far motor mount bosses, if it's too high you have the wrong mounts...

    Yeah, looks like you just need a shorter fan spacer. Shouldn't be too hard to come by. Or are you saying it looks like it sits too high in the engine compartment?

    A machine shop could even shorten the spacer you have now.
