Engine mount question related to B230FT swap 200

Hi all,

I am about to swap a B230FT into a car which came with a B21. Both cars use a manual M46 so I assume the transmission mount stays the same; however, part numbers for the motor mounts are not the same. I would assume (most dangerous word in the English language) that the difference is in the portion of the mount that contacts the engine, not the chassis, but you know what happens when you assume.

So, my question is... do I order the mounts for the chassis (the car the B230FT is going into) or for the engine (the car the B230FT is coming from)? Or do I need something altogether different? The car gaining the new powerplant is a 1979 242GT, and the donor is a 1986 744Ti. Any help or advice would be appreciated!

~Sam
