I dont have pics, but I am guessing your 261 is a V8?? If so that would explain whay the front mounts are to far in the front. On my 55 2nd series the cross member under the motor has pre drilled holes for the V8 mounts. And the V8 motor mounts are slightly different than the the straight six mounts, am I right guys?
Like I said before I am not sure if this 261 is a V8, but the way it sounds about the original mounts being to far in front, it sounds like it. Another problem you may have is cooling, since the fan on the V8 is back from tha radiator further, may have to get an electric fan, unless you can move the radiator back towards the motor.
Well, I hope were talking about a V8 here, otherwise my post was worthless, hope I helped some.
