Duh you're right they have studs on them mounting them to the ATS plates haha. It was a few months ago when i did mine.I left the SBC mounts a little loose and i left the frame stands loose. Mine was off by about a half inch. I also had to bend the SBC mounts to get them to go around the frame stands for some reason.

When I first put my engine in the motor mount on the engine hit the lower corner of the frame stand. By changing to the smaller(lower) frame stand I had the room to fit the bolt through the mount hole.With the taller frame stands it seemed as if the bolt holes were closer together.(center of left frame stand hole to center of right frame stand hole) I hate to say it, but you may have to change stands. Trying to mount the stand to the engine first and then trying to mount to the subframe was a pain in the behind. The mounting bolts are near impossible to reach with the motor hanging from a hoist. Good Luck. Larry

There are a few different motor mount towers. One set is big block and Z28 towers, I believe they set the motor lower in the car for hood clearance for the big block and cross ram manifold on the Z28. The other set is standard small block towers. The towers are different heights and widths front to rear. There are a few differnent mounts made to fit these towers. Make sure you have the correct mounts to match the towers. If you go to energy suspensions website you can look up and get the measurements on the mounts. If you are running the plates and towers upside down like ATS or Autokraft you have to have a portion of the mount cut off to fit over the towers.

I got it in I got it in!! woohoo!
Actually it was easy. I just loosened the drvr side frame mount and there was just enough play in there for it to bolt right in with no problems. Woohoo....
