vibration dampener question

Quite a regular

My '49 has a 1954 327 engine in it. The timing cover plates were all changed over to accommodate the early style front motor mount. I noticed when I started working on the engine that the vibration dampener/ pulley rubs on the motor mount. I thought at first it was because they reused the rubber mounting pads, but after replacing them with new ones and reinstalling the mount, the dampener still rubs on the mount. Did the later engines use a larger diameter pulley/ dampener or am I missing something? Thanks!

I don't know how much difference there is in diameter of the damper but it would appear the pulley and belt position is different between the two engine mounting methods. Not the best illustrations since they are different angles but looking at the position of pulley in relation to the end of cam depression on the timing cover it could appear the older damper might be smaller. Another thing to consider is with the groove on the rear, the older dampers might have been positioned forward slightly more to clear the mount.

When instructions were given in 1953 Service Counselor Vol 27 #7 on installing the post 51 327 service engines in place of the 356 engine the old vibration damper was to be reinstalled on the new engine along with the regular transferred items such as generator and fan. I don't know if that was due to the groove for the extra wide belt used on the 356 being needed or because it needed the location of the groove.

Here is a couple of illustrations showing the difference.
