Use V8 motor mounts. Just use the right type that fits whatever engine you put in it. There are many variations of SBC so pick the type that fits your car and engine.

Nobody knows the p/n off the top of their head so go to a Chevrolet parts dept. & ask them about V8 mounts. You will need to know exactly what year sbc engine your using.

And you might have to "mix & match" some upper & lower engine mounts, if different years are used. Not hard to fab-up a new half from mild 1/4" steel & make a cardboard template first for holes.

go to hawks third gen they have conversion mounts for our cars for 100$ for clam style motor mounts
You will need to get the v8 mounts from an 88 camaro from any parts house. You will also have to move them forward the holes are already drilled in your k member.
