Thanks for all the advice guys!
I was asking about the motor mounts because my crossmember has some hairline cracks, and a friend is parting out a 98 truck with drop spindles and springs control arms. I'll have to get the engine at jy on sale day because he's keeping his for his other truck.

Anyhoo, when checking jy engine...

Try to find a wrecked vehicle, astro van/1500 truck/suburban/tahoe thinking that the vans are probably less worked and worn than the others.
Check oil
Remove valve covers
Turn damper by hand
Remove #1 spark to check for compression on tdc
Thinking easiest thing is to try to start it, but with remote starter have to sneak battery in as lkq doesn't want you to start them, also if gas tank isn't there how can I start a vortec?
Try to remove oil pan or cut some of it out to check the pan for metal shavings. I have a few extras in storage.

Came across a 4.3 v6 TBI engine pulled from an '89 s10 would this work in an 84 swb and save gas?
