4.0 L broken motor mount/block lug

Can anyone tell me how the right side motor mount (MM) attaches to the block? The MM broke, and a mechanic told me it also broke the lug on the block that it attaches to. This, I am told would require replacing the motor, as the lug is part of the block casting. Can't weld cast iron, so no way to repair it. Is the MM bolted into the block by a single bolt? Is there any alternative to engine replacement?
(1995 GC Orvis [Limited]). Have also experienced "Death Wobble" a couple of times, but now know what that's from thanks to posts here.
Anyone know of trusted mechanics in the Indianapolis area?
