Motor/tranny mount clearance 200

Hey guys, this one has me pulling my hair ooout. New mounts for engine and A/T installed. Tight, no loose bolts or fasteners. Clean between mount and frame, no oily crude or grit.
Now when I drive it the exhaust and A/T strike the under frame of car when ever I suddenly change RPM's or hit a bump. Have removed, replaced and adjusted the entire exhaust systems numerous times, removed and reinstalled the mounts, compared to my other V-cars, but not able to ascertain the problem. Why is the A/T hitting the frame underside of the car. I assume my exhaust clearence problems are prevelant due to the A/T's lack of clearance between the frame tunnel and the top of the A/T. One would think that I have to wrong A/T and Motor mounts, but Nick assured me they are the correct ones. (also note, he would be glad to exchange if I doubt the application. SO no beating up on Nick)

When I un bolt the exhaust manifold to exhaust header pipe, the exhaust system falls into proper height alignment. It seems as if the engine is tilted to the left, and/or the tranny is to high on the rear mount. Appears as if it should be a simple fix, but this Norskie brain has yet to find it. Never encountered this before, new problem to me. Lay the whip to me, any ideas?
