The crossmember Dodge used in the '89 Shelby was welded in, and the mounts they used were standard D150 units, but there's a bolt-in kit from Schumacher Creative Services at http://www.engine-swaps.com/
The kit includes mounts and insulators for $385 plus $18 for shipping.

Ooops, sorry. Missed the 4WD requirement. Ever heard of elephant ears? That's an option, and since it's all level with the engine, it won't interfere with anything in the chassis. http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/chassis/113_0309_kfra/index3.html
There's an under-car pic there that show the elephant ears application. Seems like that would be a good solution. This is used a lot in dedicated race cars, but has been used to good effect in street vehicles when other options weren't readily available.
