Re: engine/ trans mount questions

There are a lot of aftermarket options for you. I found this unbranded one on Ebay that is adjustable at every point and has the dip up clearance for exhaust.

I've had poor luck with the poly bushing inside of a pipe style of mount. The bushings fail quickly. Look for factory rubber style mounts. Chances are the aftermarket mounts share geometry with an OEM mount

Re: engine/ trans mount questions

I used Tejas motor mounts, and like everyone else just reused the stock transmission mount. Tejas does make a nice trans mount as well, or if you were looking for a budget option I've had this in my amazon wishlist forever. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BLBLFGLF/

I’ve used that mount twice - one had the mounting tab for the trans mount adjustable, and one had it welded in place so you couldn’t fine-tune driveline angle.

Either works. They feel fairly cheap & Chinsy but certainly do the job (and give room to run the exhaust.
