455 engine frame brackets

Need some help finding 455 motor mount frame brackets. My 1973 Delta 88 had a buick 455 swapped into it at some point and now I am trying to put a Olds 455 back into the car. I have looked high and low with no results. Thank you in advance for any leads!

You can also use 350 frame pads and mounts, should be easier and cheaper to find. Jkaz

I know exactly where to get some.
In fact, I know where an entire 73 delta88 is at a junkyard.

Actually, the 350 and 455 frame pads carry the same part number for all B- and C-body cars, at least for 1976 (that's the parts book I have in front of me). I'm guessing that any 71-76 mounts would be the same (except for the Pontiac 400 motor used in 1975).

A few things to watch (and that I didn't know):

The frame pads are RH/LH and carry different part numbers

The motor mounts carry different part numbers for 350 and 455. They MUST be interchangeable since the frame pads are the same and the block mounting holes are the same, but still...

I removed a 455, and had it rebuilt. I had to order 350 mounts for the reinstall. The 455 mounts would not line up with the pads. Crazy, same car, same motor, mounts looked the same but would not work. 72 cultass supreme.
