anyone know any tricks to changing motor mounts on my 67 with a 289??

Question #1 is do you have the correct ones? They are hard to find.

I have purchased supposedly correct 67 mounts several times, the boxes even had the right part number, but no dice.
Cheaper to just buy a set of 68-70 small block frame mounts off ebay. Motor mounts for them are about $10 from Rock Auto.
Or you could drill a new set of holes in yours.

Which would cost $0. But some people just want the car to be right. I admit I'd be torn between drilling and getting the more expensive insulators.
tried to change them today....i said tried! ran into the dreaded 2257 motor mount not fitting problem...what a pain. i think i'll try drilling tomorrow ....can i do it with them in the car?
I was afraid I'd have to drill but i bought the Lakewood 24094 from Amazon. I had the engine on a hoist already for install, lowered and got the right bolt to slide through but couldn't get the left. Pulled the engine up again, loosened the 4 motor bolts and loosened all the mount plate bolts just enough to wiggle the plate/mounts. Lowered and got the drivers bolt in again, then slightly lowered/lifted on the hoist until I could see through the bolt hole and had to thread the bolt through but it went finally. Lowered and tightened all the bolts, through bolts last.

finally done! had to drill em out....tried everything else..no dice...to everyone doing a 67 motor mount, either drill or get the correct ones! i wasted many, many hours trying to get the 2257's to work....the only way was to drill!
