When I had a Chevy 350 in my 66 Tempest, I had the same issue. Wound up using a pipe to gently dent the pan where it was hitting. Worked great.

Yes I got new ones from Ames also went from ST300 transmission to TH350 with new mount as well. I'm also doing SPC upper, lower tubular control arms, a Right Stuff Detailing front disc brakes swap, new tie rods and a Proforged 106-10060 center link.

I have found aftermarket mounts seem to need a spacer to raise the pan some.Tom

Trans mount is too thick/high.
