broken motor mount bracket



Hi

Due to broken moter mounts and a rusted cross member, I had to pull the 
engine out of my 81 D. The nuts on the righthand motor mount stud had also 
broken off. After pulling the engine, my first plan was to remove the broken 
stud, so that the new one could be installed, I proceeded to heat the bracket 
and attempt to pound out the stud. After only a few hits with the hammer, 
the entire bracket compleatly cracked off the engine. Upon inspection it 
appears to be extreamly coroaded. Has anyone run into this before, and if 
so, what can be done? 

I will also be welding new plates in the motor mount area, does anyone on the 
list have any experance with this either?

Any ideas would be very helpful
