Small Block & Big Block Chevy Specific - 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.

I am wanting to install a GEN I in my 95, allot of people i talked to said they had no problems with 2 bolts on each side. Dont plan on pulling the tires do you?

ummmm...lol, its going to probably be either nitrous car or a turbo car. if i go turbo i wont be that worried about pulling the front tires

Get a motor plate from Madman. Will alleviate the header clearance issue at the same time.

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?

From Madman's site

would i also have to use a midplate with this setup?

are there any pics of motor plates with SBC's instead of ls1's

Just a thought,but if he's going sbc,he should just be able to use a set of lt1 headers for the f-body if he would rather run mounts

I run a front plate on my bbc w/out a midplate,but I do have a limiter on it. Mine plates are madmans also,and they fit like a glove:chug:

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

I have better / newer pics but I dont have them hosted anywhere, hope these give you a general idea though.

Here are a few of mine in the starting stages.
