Welcome aboard thirdgen.org!

Sorry to hear you drew an ignorant customer service rep. There is only one "size" of V8 engine mount, but all you're going to get is the polyurethane inserts.

You do need to know the size of sway bar when you order poly sway bar mounts. In that regard, I would recommend you not go out and measure the bars on the car, but order new performance bars & mounts. The V6 stuff will be overwhelmed by your new engine (which sounds like a good combo, by the way).
