Prothane Mounts not lining up correctly.

[big_d]

This is currently on my brother's car that needs to be at the shootout this year. The turbocharged original n/t block was replaced with a turbo shortblock. The last thing to do was install the solid prothane transmission mount. All other mounts gave us no trouble. When bolting the mount to the frame rail, the bolt holes sit about an 1" too high. The engine and trans are very stiff, and I am concerned I might break something if I force it into place. Has anyone ran into this problem before? Should I try loosening all mounts and the subframe to make up the 1"?

Here are some pictures of the trans mount, along with the other three mounts.

yeah its a common problem... you just have to force it in. also try loosening the lower cross member that should give you the room you need.
