Nick is right on with reuse reuse reuse. I used a full size trans cross in my son's truck and just welded pads to it to mount it to the frame.

I used an S10 blazer tank with the pump in the tank and put a pretty block off plate over the mech fuel pump hole. I'd notch the S10 cradle if I was going to run a mechanical pump but I've seen a few that look like they'll be a pain to change without pulling at least 1 side of the mount.

If I had it to do over, I'd slot the cradle and put a plate on the motor mount and then weld it in because even having both sides up 1/4" was trouble to get the motor in just right. Oh wait, I DO have it to do over, I started another S10 swap last weekend...

Anybody got a spare latch plate?!
