Motor Mounts I'm putting an LS6 into an '87 Mercedes 560SEC and need some help with motor mounts. I saw a set that looked kinda like the ones below but had three arms rather than one wide one and one narrow one, but can't find it any more. Procrastination has its detraction's.
Any ideas where those might be located?
Thanks,
Mike

I thought I had seen a three legged mount but this should work, plus I like your pricing. It looks like they can be flipped over so the mount is at the front of the plate??
What's the approximate length of the two legs? I'd guess around 5" and 7"? I have about 6" from the block to the top edge of the silver frame.

Why not use a Corvette rubber mount at the stock location on the MB subframe, and make your own arm weldment back to the block? We did something similiar for our BMW E30 conversion with LS1 and T56. See:

for pics of what we did. You may be too far into what you've already got to change, but its a thought.

Very good idea but I've already modified the crossmember too much to take an MB mount. It might take a biscuit, but I don't know if those will handle the ~480hp of my LS6. The Carshopinc mounts should work, if they're long enough.
Your mounts look great but y'all, obviously, did better planning than me!
