Default Custom engine mounts?

I’m looking into putting an ls motor into my 1994 subaru loyale, but i’m having a hell of a time finding any motor mounts for this application. This build has not been done yet to my knowledge so that makes it much harder to find any parts or knowledge on this swap. Any input on a swap like this would be helpful, finally got tired of boxer engines blowing up on me.

Can you weld and do fabrication work? Since this is now a common swap, you are not going to find any sort of bolt-in mounts.

Fab 'em up -- then show us what you came up with. There were a couple of sources for my swap, but I didn't like where the placed the engine (too high, too close to the steering shaft) so I made my own.
