question before i buy

I'm looking at an 89 camaro that had a 350 in it but is now gutted. I have a 454 from a 70's truck, and a turbo 400 trans that was in a 79 camaro. I know where im going with the motor but not sure on the motor mounts and what should be used. I have heard conflicting statements on the mounts and wonder if there is anyone who has done this that can advise me on what mounts to use.

Re: question before i buy

Motor mounts are the same as a SB,the trans mount/crossmember to do a TH400 is either an aftermarket piece or a custom fab piece.
