Default Motor Mounts/Slip up during Conversion

Quick Question

Before I dropped the 5.0 into my car, I removed the brackets that supported the 2.3L engine. They were extentions from the frame of the car. I then dropped the 5.0 directly onto the indentions of the frame....Are these the motor mounts....or are they not the motor mounts?

you would probably bump EVERYTHING if you put it in w/out the mounts. and have nothing to bolt to.

Yeah...It looks like I put it in with no motor mounts. What do you mean bump everything?

well the headers wouldn't clear the frame i would have to imagine. my long tubes on my old car bumped just from 1 of them being worn out.

Everything fits fine, the engine is in and the headers are clear....Are there any risks in running without mounts?
