you will need the entire mount including the mounting bracket that bolts to the block. You really only need the passenger side mount and bracket but you may as well get both and go with TRD mounts to save you the trouble from doing it later.

You can get some cheap, used brackets from www.turbo-toys.com -- tell him you're doing the -gte swap into an sc and he'll know exactly what to send you. Pick up some TRD mounts from a Toyota dealer. Elmhurst like LexusFTW posted or Jay Marks Toyota both have good prices.

i ran into a bunchof problems i started my swap about 3 months ao and yeh i stil dont have the car.

for one you have the wrong mounts those are from the 93-96 supra.
dont go with trd mount. i did my research on this and i also asked dave H he told me to go with oem toyota supra (97/98) mounts[his 9 sec supra and the 9 sec probe are running 98 ge mounts]. you also need the brackets. the 98 mounts are the same gte/ge and they are 87 dollars at toyota [thats how much i got mine for].make sure you have the igniter off the aristo if not get one off an mkiv tt supra. if your clip doesn't have a throttle cable you can get one off a camry or one off an mkiv supra[tt].

There is few who could ever truly justify TRD mounts when the eom are metal incased and capable of seriously huge h.p. numbers.

This is and remains the bible on parts numbers, pictures, compatibility and mis-cues on the motor mount...FINALLY! The moment I have been waiting for 7months for...TRD motor mounts

Easily found with the search feature with the word "mount" but what the hay, why not start another re-thread.
