I’m sure this is beat up!!! But I’ve searched and found so many different ways of people doing this but not a part number or link that helps me.

I need motor mount for my swap putting a LT1 out of my 4th Gen f body into my V6 cutlass. I don’t have the f body mounts anymore and I have a V6 so no 305 mounts either.

Does anyone have a lead/link to what to use on both the engine and cradle side?

I remember reading that you have to bolt the passenger mount to certain holes to make this work also.
 
It was my understanding that the LT1 has dual bolt patterns on the block (4 holes) and would accept either mount. Using that logic then wouldn't both sides of the original SBC clamshell style be correct? People on other forums report them working perfectly when installing LT1s into old Camaros and such. I don't have part numbers handy but traditional mounts and cradles aren't hard to find even without them.

I’ve seen them used but next question is the passenger cradle mount I believe that they need to be mounted in different holes?

Does anybody have pictures of that?
 
I don't know what mounts to use, but what may be more difficult is figuring out which of the probably dozen or so holes on the frame to use. Hopefully someone will have pictures of the correct hole and mounts.

That’s where I’m going to need assistance. Getting it correct the first time
 
Not sure if these photo's will help but...this was the motor mount location on my 79 Monte Carlo that I parted out. The frame cradle should be the same from 78-88. The bottom front bolt should be past the cradle for the standard small block motor mount.
