You need an metal adaptor plate. They are available from t/a performance although you can build one. The newer engine mounts are better than the ones that came in '67 and are usually used, but the engine starts sitting higher in the car, not a problem from a hot rod standpoint.

If you are trying for an original look and want a starwars air cleaner, you need original type stuff.
