We recently bought an 87 cutlass no motor... We bought a 350 engine from a 76 regal to swap in... Is there anyway to go around having to buy frame mounts to do this swap.. Any help is appreciated...

I am going to assume the it is a small block chevy 350. If the engine came with the clam shells that bolt to the engine, the frame side mounts can be had for ~$6 a piece from a parts store.

I'm not sure there would be a reliable or simple alternative that costs less.

There are several threads on this site detailing this exact swap.

If its a buick small block you should have asked the seller to include the mounts the engine was mounted to begin with. Call the seller back and see if the mounts are still available. They are the correct mounts unless the engine was a 350 chev as drogg already said, then you have to order the clamshell style as already said

If it's a Buick 350 (as it should be in a '76 regal) and your cutlass was a Buick V6 the mounts would be the same.
