73-87 Frame Perches

I have been unfortunate enough that I have not found anyone parting out a full 73-87 C10 and have had to piece together a 73-87 front end to swap under my 64 C20... one of the last items I am looking for is a frame perch for a SBC. Does anyone repop these or is there alternatives? I have seen the ones for LS's but do they work with the clamshells?

CPP & POL sold motor mount towers/stanchions @ one point that worked w/OE motor mount clamshell bushings. Not sure how 'bolt-on' they would be for your app though.

Did you swap the main cradle when piecing together the 73-87 parts swap?
Is it still a C20 or did that change as well?

Agreed, and aren't the frames a diff size as well, Scoti? I got frame perches but I dunno if they will work.
