I started to think maybe the 307 was supposed to be in the rear motor mount holes, but that can’t be because the bellhousing mount wouldn’t line up at the crossmember. I’m stuck and don’t know where to go from here??

Sounds like the truck you purchased the linkage from was likely an original six cylinder truck that was converted to a V-8. The V8 linkage will be shorter in an original application as the engine and transmission are farther forward.
