What do you call the mounts on a 454 block?

Prolly a stupid question but the big block I'm installing in my 1976 GMC 1 ton has no engine mounts. I have the motor mounts that bolt to the frame but not the ones that bolt to the block....what are they called? I'm searching for some but not sure what to call em. If anyone has a pair I will buy em.
Thanks

If i understand your question.......You have engine stands, what you need are "motor mounts".

so, motor mounts bolt to the block? and the mounts that bolt to the frame are called engine stands? They are then both joined together with a long bolt to hold the engine in place, yes?
Thanks

Re: What do you call the mounts on a 454 block?

This part bolts to the block (ebay item number 230498486233), I call them clam shells. A rubber block is the actual mount that is bolted to the clam shell, one long bolt each. The motor mount is bolted, usually with 3-4 bolts, to the plate/engine stand that bolts to the frame.

I tried finding pictures, no luck tonight.
