Default HELP!! I6 to 289 engine swap issues

I am swapping a i6 for a 289 in a 68 Mustang. I have the motor mounts on the 289...but there has to be a conversion kit out there. Where do I find it and what does it look like? I need to go from the 289 mounts over to the frame? I have the trans figured out, the throttle figured out, radiator figured out.....but damned if I can figure out the motor mounts....help...someone....anyone??

The smallblock mounts should just fit over the ears on the frame.

You have to have V8 specific brackets to hold the mounts to the frame. The I6 brackets will NOT work. These are pretty hard to find used anymore since everybody and his brother has done a six to eight swap (ahem). They're not exactly cheap but most Mustang parts outlets have them. Like these for example-
