I ordered one despite the fact they don't list it for the 351C. They do list the 2370 for the left side but the right one is made wrong. I'm guessing they aren't making them anymore so it's what they have until they run out.
 I did modify it to work just incase someone has to get one and is out of other alternatives. All of the problems with the mount are at the bolt toward the front.
1.  The front bolt is too far out front and has to be slotted toward the rear about a half an inch.
2.  The mount itself (at the front) contacts the block where the coolant plug is and has to be trimmed. 
3.  Done with about 1/8" to 3/16" of clearance it only leaves about 1/4" of material at the outside of
     the slot.
4.  Because of that, I ground a flat edge on a washer to fit underneath and welded it in place and
     closed up the slotted hole.

Just thought I'd throw that out there for anyone that needs it.

Thanks,

Had the same problem 10 years ago with my 302 (same mounts).
Damn holes in the wrong place and after you mod it to fit the block, it won't fit the frame holes either.

If you would explain "frame holes either". I'm there in a day or two.

Thanks

Yeah it is. I thought about that as I was finishing it up too, but it was late and I was on a roll.

Not only were the holes for the block bolts screwed up, the part that saddled the frame was not right and the thru-bolt holes didn't line up with the holes in the frame. Seemed like the holes were made before that part was bent and the bend was crooked.
Worst part was, I thought the mounts were maybe on the wrong sides and switched them... even worse, so not on wrong side. Just screwed up royally.
So, I re-used my original, oil soaked, mushy mounts. Thumbs Down Better than nothing, and way better than the "New" ones.

Thanks. Looks like I have a new project tomorrow. Worse case I'll reuse the old one. Fortunately it's not oil soaked.

Just remember that there is a left and a right, and it DOES matter which is which and you will be alright.When I put mine together, every one the parts stores had was screwed up. Same cross-eyed idiot made them all, I guess.
 
Almost forgot, one sub-genius at a parts store asked my if I could have somehow bent my block.
