<VV> Question : Different engine mounts for 1967 Monza 140?

OK, now that I installed 140 and replaced the rear grille, the rear grille
is about a 3" too high exposing the two lower engine mount bolts (of 4 that
hold the bracket to the rear of the engine)!

The rear grille on my friend's Corsa completely covers the engine mount, and
has a different engine mount that has more of a "trapezoidal" cross section
(from the side) than mine, which is rectangular.

His Corsa mount brings the engine up about the 3" difference, so the oil
filter is above the box frame, which would solve my issue.

It never occurred to me that there could be different mounts, so what's up?

The Clark catalog doesn't show any good pix of either mine or his to compare
