C1 - engine side mounts

Has anyone heard of a kit or good way to install side engine mounts from a sb engine to the frame on a C1 (62) chassis. I have purchased the stock side mounts and the engine has the bolt pattern for them.

i don't know of a 'kit'... i believe you'll just have to get universal mounting brackets and cut them to fit, and then weld up.

Corvette Central do some mount bars # 301235 I have them on my 61 but you will need to trim to fit and weld . I dont believe they will fit with the standard sreering box ,I run an after market front suspension steering package so that wasnt an issue for me .

I like the look of the mount shown on the passenger side of the engine, however, could you show the drivers side? Do you have the original steering box? Where did you get the universal lmounts?
