What motor did you swap out? If you swapped from a V6 to a V8 then the motor mounts should be mounted in the forward holes. Did you swap transmissions too? Did you go to a different type of transmission?

How much of a gap are you talking about and where exactly is the gap at? There shouldn't be that much of a difference between mounting positions

its about an inch or inch and a half between the where the driveshaft used to be and where it hooks up to the transmisson. (i can tell its a new gap because my driveshaft is rusty and there is no rust where this gap is if u get wut im trying to say).

As far as length goes, there is no difference between the 2 transmissions. The only difference is the shape of the bell housing. The V6 bell housing is much narrower than the V8. It sounds like you are talking about the yoke which slips into the back of the transmission. It is really hard to know exactly without seeing a picture or something.
