Just rebuilt my motor on a 63 with the crank pulley instead of a
balancer and installed it, now i am having a very hard time getting the
belt to fit between the motor mount bracket and the pulley, i made sure
the pulley nut is torqued , and have Gates belt called for, any ideas or
has anyone else had this issue.

You have a harmonic balancer on your 63, and because it is thicker, the belt wont fit now. I had the same problem when I went to that pulley on my short stroke engine. I did it because the extra pulley thickness makes it easy to add magnets for a crank sensor for distributorless ignition. Anyways, to make room for the belt, you must also use a 1964 rear engine mount.
