Default LM7 in Mercury
Hi, i have a Mercury -49 projekt with a Malibu front clip. I believe its from like 1979 or so.
i just ordered a LM7 engine from a Silverado -02.

There is no motor bushings on the front clip and no mounts on the engine.

So, my first question. What kind of engine mounts do you think i should use? Is there som universal kind that is good that will work with my front clip?

More good ideas are welcome!

I had a LT1/4L60 in my last projekt.

I think these mounts should work if you combine them with the stock clamshell mounts that bolt to the frame:

Yes, that was my first idea. But then i thought that its unnecessary since i dont have any of them and might have to mount the engine higher or further back in the car.

Hope you get my english...

Those look like the stock mounts, but they should be bolted to the frame, not welded.
