I did not try to go cheap on the motor mounts, I want them to last, so I purchased the ECE mounts and they work and look great.

You can kind of see where I cut and how it sits here, I need to do more trimming now that it is sitting in there.

Thanks, Orlando. I plan to swap the exhaust manifolds for a set of headers and since the engine is out I want to replace the cam. Has anyone used the ECE mounts with headers(and what kind of headers)??
