Shim plates might be a good option! I really don't relish cutting the front mounts off of the frame and moving them up....

'66 Thunderbirds have tapered carb spacers - worht a look.

You can get them from most classic Thunderbird part suppliers Like Larrys Mustand and Thunderbirds.

NB: Check the face is dead flat when you get one- I had to 'surface' mine with 800 wet'n'dry paper on a plate of glass.
