motor mounts?

[NCjeeper]

hey guys, i bought a 1983 model amc 258 to replace my 75 cj5's blown 258. the motor mounts are different. i dont know what the 83 258 came out of either. they're both 3-prong mounts but one's down and the other is up. where could i find some mounts for my swap?

I thought the block was the same on the AMC 258s, won't the mounts off the older motor fit the new motor?

I have a newer 258 in my 79 and the motor mounts are identical. In fact I just replaced them with Prothane mounts I purchased from Collins Bros, they were about $65 and I highly recommend them. They keep the engine in place. If you go with the Prothane mounts there is a plate that extends past the rubber mount, that plate points down. This information will be useful if your mounts come without directions like mine did.
