If you already have the exhaust stuff off to put headers in, changing the
motor mount is a pretty simple job, and they are cheap too. There are two
different heights that I've seen myself. I think the brand name at the
parts store was Anchor, but there are two different mounts, one is part #
2283, and the other is #2412 (i think). The latter is a "shorter" mount, at
least compared to the 2283. See if your parts guy has these and you can
visually compare them.
If you're going to change one mount, you should probably change both. But,
it's a relatively easy job with the exhaust off..

Subject: [Chevelle-List] header install problems
I'm havin problems installing my new hedman headers (#68290).
The driver's side header hits the mount for the lower control arm. So bad
that it would have to move over about a half inch just to install them.
My question is (before I try to take em back) could it be because I have the
wrong motor mounts?
The PO replaced a 307 with the 350 and I've heard that the motor mounts are
different, maybe he didn't change them.
What do you guys think? Could I put the correct mounts on to fix this
problem? The motor needs to go down a bit.
Or I'm open to other ideas.
Oh, also if there isn't a solution, what headers do you guys recommend?
Thanks all for answering my questions,
