So I'm redesigning almost my whole subframe to mount a 13b Rensis in my 1976 fiat 124, and I need some engine mounts to complete the union. I'm looking for something like this:
so, a cylindrical style mount with simple studs top and bottom. I'm looking for poly mounts. These ^^ are from a c5 corvette but they are a little too big (3") and pricey (190$) Does anybody know of other cars with engine mounts of this style? My stock fiat engine mounts are like this but there are no poly mounts on the market so I have to look elsewhere.

Ford flathead motor mounts.
They're not studs top and bottom but they're a stackable rubber donut sandwich with a thru-bolt. We use them to build custom mounts fairly often.
Cheap too at around $20.00 each.

Or a couple of hockey pucks, big washers, bumper bolts and a welder.
Skip the poly. Go to McMaster Carr and look through their selection of anti vibration mounts for machinery. Many cylindrical shapes in various durometers, including the exact replacements for Lotus 7/ Caterham
140 Volvo has studs centered, 240 has them offset a bit.
Check BMW E38 / E39 transmission mounts. They look a lot like that, just not as tall. They're also really cheap.

This. You can turn down a hockey puck on a lathe pretty easily. Drill your center hole and bolt through.

I thought they used old Jag mounts? Two-bolt flange on the bottom, threaded hole on the top.
Or would this be the more modern ones??
I mounted my 3400 v6 in my rx7 with hockey pucks. Works just fine.
In reply to SkinnyG :
Your description is accurate. Probably are the same. I would use the hard ones on a Jag, and the softest on a bike build. I did use the middle ones on a Kent engined Caterham. Also look a lot like MG TC, but have incorrect threaded hole.
E30 M20 mounts look lik they're straight-thru (not offset). Check out Condor Speed Shop
I used Delrin Concor mounts on my M42 (E30 4cyl) until I realized there was waaaaayyyy too much NVH (that took about 30 seconds).
1973-1976 TR6 gearbox mount? TRF has them for$ 5.99. Part number is 150403

This is a motor mount for a 1973 Mercury Capri.
It's rubber so it's an alternative to any other mounts you may consider.
