Default 4cyl to 318 motor mount question

. I have a 1992 4 cylinder , 5 speed truck. We are doing a 318 magnum swap with an nv3500. We have everything we need for the conversion. I have a question regarding the motor mounts on the frame

I have searched multiple forums, web and you tube fore answers. Either I just haven't asked the question the right way or? because I have came up with nothing.

I have a question for you all. The frame mounts. Does anyone have pics of 2wd magnum engine mounts ? The factory 4 cylinder mounts are bolted to the frame so I assume you can unbolt these and bolt in the v8 mounts?
The passenger mount looks like it may be the same as the v8.
Murphy's law, when I need to look at a 2wd Dakota with a v8, there are none in our local auto wreckers. I attached a pic of the passengers mount in my truck, forgot to take a pic of the drivers side for some reason. Any help greatly appreciated

You can use the frame mounts you have and the barrel style motor mounts....they will bolt right up to the magnum engine. If you check out my build thread, I believe I have pictures of this arrangement.
