the sbc vega I had way back when and the hardy mounts, used a 72 chevy truck motor mount that attached to the block with 3 bolts but just the 1 big one to the hardy frame stands, just added some shims there to get it in the sweet spot. The motormount has a big surface area around that bolt so you can use large diameter washers or shims made from flat stock, whatever fits, and use a slightly longer bolt if needed. Like vegastre said they were designed to be bolted in on top of the original 4 cyl frame plates which are 2 layers spotwelded to the frame. I still shimmed mine as well to get it perfect.
