Now onto the engine mounts. To start, I cut the original motor mounts apart and plan to use the 'cups' on the frame and use the left over plates to begin fabbing up the steel pieces for the engine.
One pic shows the beginning of the pass side. The oil return line for the turbo is right in the way of where I wanted to put the rubber mount.
Next is the driver's side starting out. I removed the PS pump to make the job easier but did keep it handy for a few trial fits to make sure nothing gets in the way during the process.
Here are a few pics of the motor mounts I used. On the left is an original Lord style found in the Chevy bread trucks. The rubber on it was cracked and soft so I decided not to use them. The new mounts are Anchor part # 2859. They also make a 2859SR (solid rubber) that is cheaper but I went for the hydraulic ones. These were right at $30 each from Summit Racing and are the same dimensions as the Lord mounts.
