Default 4cyl to v8 swap, spindle issue

hey guys i cant seem to find and info on the spindle part of the swap. it seems like it would be straight foward but the v8 spindle isnt lining up with the 4cyl strut. i am leaving the 4 cyl suspension in the car for the weight transfer and ride height. am i doing somethign wrong though. one bolt will line up perfectly but the other is slightly off and i cannot get it thru
