This is one I found with a quick search..

You might get away with just replacing the bushings..

This is a video of the procedure to repair the motor..

Google corvette parts and several places will show up. also look at the side of the page and you will see quite a few corvette vendors there also. There are little if not nothing you cannot find for the C4 reman,new or used you will be surprised. also remember just because it has corvette on it does not mean you cannot get what you want at you local parts store
