If you do need motor mounts look into L&L Products. They make all kinds of swap kits and parts. They have good headers too. They aren't cheap, but you get what you pay for.

77 was the year highboys changed...so we need to know if it's a highboy or not. If not, then 460 mounts can be made from 390 mounts by flipping them upside down and drilling the extra hole...but I do not recommend this. if it is, then you'll need to swap frame mounts.
