guiguilandry is on a distinguished road
engine mounts ? My car was a 5 speed at the starting so I used the stock tranny mounts as a baseline and then fabricated the engine mounts....
the front tranny mount has to be removed due to clearance issue with the header, so at that time I filled the rear one with urethane...

I redid a complete upper rad frame with square tubing steel because the stock one isn't tough enough... believe me it will twist like butter if your mounts aren't good enough lol...
You gotta do custom shorter dogbone for the front

I kept the original l67 front engine mount bracket under the oilpan just shortened it 1 inch.. welded a plate on the subframe with bolts through the plate that allign with the shortened engine mount... 5/8 rubber mat between

(I'll redo this one this winter... it's too rough in the car because of that one, it's basically metal on metal because of the bolts that passes through)
