Buschur sells the rwd conversion motor mounts, but I'm just curious as to where they actually bolt on in the car and to the motor. I'm doing a similar swap and knowing this could be very helpful to me in what I'm doing as a reference. I'm assuming they bolt to the motor on the sides like a v8 style mount, but what about in the engine bay?
 
I'm assuming theyare intended to be welded into the car since it says you will need to of them when doing the conversion and it's very unlikely both sides use the same mount and have the same spots to bolt it. Wouldn't it be a much easier alternative to just use custom engine plates to hold it all together?
 
All depends on what trans you are using. If you are trying to use one of the "bolt up" trans then you have to use these mounts. I am running a midplate and a PG behind my rwd 4g which my midplate is going to be 2 of the mounts. I belive Buschur's mounts are nothing more then new "engine stands" that replace our core support, and rear subframe mount ( physical mount off the block, not the rubber) And they bolt up in the stock locations. And they are probly stock off the mighty max.
