Well I thought I'd post pics of my new RSM motor mount that will be going on when the motor goes back in. This is the new billet style mount. I like it. Kinda cool looking, unfortunately you won't see it very often...Not extremely expensive and it should help to bring back a little bit of torque that has been lost over the years.

I just got mine yesterday along with prothane's upper mount insert. The lower one I got is one of the older steel ones that looks like a dogbone. Let us know how the install goes!

Thanks guys. I hope it helps a little. I don't really know what to expect with it. The old one was pretty hurting anyways.
Azrael - let me know how the poly insert is. I might do that at a later date also.
Joe - It got towed to the shop today!!!! So I will have it in 2 weeks when I have a week off of vacation time...:D Lots of stuff to do during that time off too ;)

The insert was fairly easy to install and I did it within an hour. And most of that time was hunting around for the right sockets I needed which was 9/16" for the engine mount bolts and nuts (use a deepsocket for the nuts) and 1/2" for the mounting bolts in the passenger wheelwell for the whole engine mount itself. Unfortunately I can't say I notice much of a difference with it in. Myabe in conjunction with the lower mount it'll be noticeable. Although it did reduce engine movement which is half the reason why I bought it in the first place because my air filter kept banging against the strut tower.
