Default Butler poly mount fitment issues?

Hey guys. I've got a 67 GTO I autoX. I stuck some butler poly mounts in it last fall with my new engine and noticed this year I wasn't getting a full turn in either direction. It should be noted it was a royal bastard getting the engine in there with the butler poly stuff where there was no issue at all getting my old engine/stock mounts in. The old engine would practically fall in. Anyhow...come to find out my center link is hitting my Canton road race oil pan pretty badly. I never had this issue at all with my repop stock mounts.....so is this a known issue? I'm ready to buy some 1/4" motor mount spacers to hopefully correct this but I'm just curious if there's a known issue here?

I did not have any problems with my 66 GTO, IA2 aluminum block and those mounts. I suggest calling Butler Performance. They have ALWAYS helped me.

I couldn't get them to fit the saddles with an MR-1 block. I sent some pics to Butler in the car where the bolts wouldnt line up on the saddles,and next to a set of stock mounts showing the difference in hole locations. They took them back and I ended up going with solid mounts that fit.
It seemed like they knew there is a problem with some of them.
