I like to see the different ones! I guess my imagination is warped,but for a few yrs I ran what I could get my hands on(as long as it was BIG!). The olds was sitting a little high in my longhorn also. I used the stands & bottom brackets from a late 70s truck/with a 5.7 deisel. The mount is different than the chev mount,but the deisel mount crossed with an Olds car mount. I think if you could get a set of 72 BB stands,you could use an Olds car mount & bracket to get the nose height down on the 403 olds swap. Mine was a weld in swap.....none of the bolt holes lined up,& was also moved back(required cutting the firewall around the head & reworking).......the Olds will fit without that mod,but I have always tryed to move back any weight that I could. Another "generic swap"....
