If you are trying to install the Chebby motor using the Olds frame mount, they aren't even close. You need the correct Chebby mounts.

The same ones used for a small block chevy. Look in the v6 to sbc thread, it'll show you the correct position for them.

you have to get the proper block side mounts. they must be from a g-body, though i've heard that some A and F body mounts might work.

The motor mounts for the bbc will be ok, what you need are the frame mounts from a g-body that had a chebby v8 or v6 engine. There will be different sets of holes in the cradle that you have to use. Hold onto the frame mounts for the olds. Guys are always looking for them when they go from a v6 to a sbo.

You only want the frame mounts for a v8 car, v6 cars are different.
