Default Art Morrison motor mounts

I was working on mock up of ls3 and t56 in 69 camaro with morrison gmax subframe, for some reason when I set the engine in the frame the lower edge of the motor mounts hit the frame before the holes line up, I can get one side lined up with the bolt through but not the other, the paperwork says tri5ls1, I am wondering if this is a different motor mount for another chassis or if they are all the same, I could possibly trim off aprox 1/4" on each side but thought I would ask for advice before I do anything and it's to late, any thoughts?

I dont know if you have tried to call them. But I ordered some headers from them and they were for a 2nd gen but the paper work read 67 chevelle. I called them and they were having a staff meeting so I left a message. With in an hour they called back and told me the headers fit more than 1 car. But they were extremely nice and took the time to talk to me. So just saying give them a call. Bill

Agree w Bill. Great guys over there.

I had the same issue w my AME mounts. Needed some interior trimming to clear the round tube. Also did not set the motor back as far as I wanted, but worked out for my engine bay alright.

I also had the same problem with the Art Morrison LS motor mount kit in their Camaro subframe. Had to trim the mounts too. I e-mailed them two days ago about the problem but have not heard back. Funny you pay a lot for all their stuff but things do not fit.

My Art Morrison mounts fit fine a few years back when I assembled my AME subframe. Something must have changed. I used their headers too.

Why don't you just give them a call? I have always found their service to be excellent.
