Motor mounts
Motor mounts Ive done alot of searching over the last few days and ive found mixed responses. Im starting a new project of putting a Carb'd 383 gen 1 into a 95 v6 firebird. So far ive found BMR and PA make K members. Im trying to do the whole project for under 3k total investment (already had the motor and got the car dirt cheap). I have a stock 98 ls1 k mamber laying around also. Ive heard of the appletree racing conversion mounts but i cant find them anywhere. Ive also looked into the madman motor plates but i want to save this as my last option. What would be the cheapest way to do this? how well would the LT1 mounts hold up with only 2 bolts holding them in? Thanks.
does anyone have any pictures with the motorplate installed? im interrested to see how it mounts to the frame, i also saw a motor plate kit that bolts to the frame, who makes that?

I have a gen 1 motor in my 94 V6 car, I used a stock LT1 k member with LT1 mounts, I modded the driver side mount by adding material and drilling a hole but the passenger side mount I just used with 2 bolts.
do you have any pictures of the engine in the car? Im trying to get an idea of how it will sit down in there. I hate to sound like a newbee but this is my first dealing with a Gen 1. i mostly stay with ls1's and ls2's
