Default Good source for universal swap mounts?

Anyone know of good sources to buy mounts that are "universal(meaning I have to make them fit) so I can swap my LS1 into a car which has no conversion kits available?

You can get corvette/GTO mounts that are pedistal style.
Dirty Dingo has adjustable mounts:

Speedway motors has a generic crossmember:

That should allow you to mount almost anything.

I'll have to look closer at the GTO/Vette mounts, especially as the engine in this car is pedestal mounted...

Those are good links!!!

Thanks.

I've even got a pair of pedistal mounts. Email me if you're interested in buying.
Btw, what kind of car?

89 Merkur XR4ti.

How much would you want for the pedestals? What are they off of?

Worst case scenario I can make my own pedastal mount adapters off the block and use gto poly isolators or whatever you want to call them.

They're off a corvette or GTO, same mount.
$80 for the pair, shipped.
