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
