transdapt motor mounts have engine sitting high

I bought the 4204 transdapt motor mounts and haven't been able to get the engine sitting inside the frame rails as it should. The engine is approximately 3" above where it should sit and I've tried switching sides with the mounts, turn upside down, etc and can't figure out what's going on. If anyone has ran into this issue with the transdapt mounts please let me know what your fix was. Thanks

Apologies on the lack of info in my post. Truck is a 67 with 283 originally. My donor motor came from an 04 Silverado with 5.3 4L60.
