Default f-body clamshell motor mounts

Collecting all my parts for my 93 RX7 LS1 swap. My pullout engine came with adapter plates and a-body motor mounts. I need some f-body clamshells to fit a Hinson kit. I really don't want to spend $80 for new motor mounts and another $60 for urethane inserts.
Anybody got some off of their pullout they want to trade for some swap mounts?

Look like a set of BRP alum. mounts. They have the hex head countersunk bolts. Also I believe the mounts are the tall/narrow variety. One of the mounts has a small welded tab on it thus making it a solid motor mount - I'd grind it off personally.
The previous owner had a 72 ElCamino with the ac delete, reworked trans tunnel (t56) and had the motor pushed up close to the firewall. He was able to use an unmodified F-body pan - and did not notch/cut the front crossmember to get it all to fit.

I got the one urethane insert that I needed for about $16 (plus tax) at the local Autozone - I'd think that if you called around you should be able to match that...

(And sorry - I'm using both of my motor mounts...)
