Welcome aboard!

At least one of the sponsors of this forum offers several motor mount options.
Here's a link to the list of new motor mounts available from from GBody Parts:

We're also kind of assuming that you're trying to install a Chevrolet V8 in your Malibu. Other divisions engines can be installed though. It would be helpful if you could specify which engine you'd like to install, and mentioning which transmission you're going to use might be helpful as well. Good luck.

Correct; the GBodyParts link was for Chevy small block mounts.
Thanks, clean8485

where exactly are u looking for these mount. you say the ones that mount dirctly to th car, i.e the frame im guessing. these can be purchased at any autoparts store for under $20 for a pair of the stock style mounts. BUT again this is assuming you're going witha smallblock chevy

If your good with metal you can modify your current cross member to accommodate dual exhaust I can post pics if you need it. Hey and welcome aboard, you gonna post some pics for progress, I like seeing another eighty Malibu out there.
