Question motor swap help

i need some info on motor mounts. i have a 94 325is shell and was originally going to swap a 2jzgte and now have fell in love with the 1uzfe (do to now owning a 92 ls400 and my buddy swapping a 1uz in his corolla). my question is can i use the aftermarket 2jz bimmer swap mounts to put in a 1uz instead? reason i ask is because i have seen online some sc300's and is300's doing 1uz swaps and it sounds like they are using the stock mounts. if this is true then the 2jz bmw conversion mounts should work and I just want to confirm this. any helpful feedback is appreciated. please no flamers as i would have rather just have an sc400 but already own a 325is shell and would like to use it.

The footprint in the cross member is the same between the engines.

Also, I am pretty sure the isolators are the same between sc3 and sc4. Meaning the lower part of the "mount" assembly that goes between the engine side bracket and the cross member.

So I suppose the question is, do your aftermarket brackets replace the 2jz engine mount BRACKET, the engine mount ISOLATOR, or does it replace both in one assembly?
