ECE engine mounts and trans problems

hey guys, I ran into a snag yesterday. I have a 99 ls1 out of a camaro and ece mounts going into my 72 c10. I had to remove some material on the engine cradle. no big deal, but my trans seems to be too low at the tailshaft. I also have a ece trans mount. it just seems like it needs to come up some. has anyone else ran into this?

I an using the same setup in my 67. I put a .50" thick spacer under the trans mount to bring it up a little. Anything thicker and the trans would touch the lip on the cab (bellhousing area)
