Yo jeef...which inserts did you get? I am gonna be using stock mounts that I got from 91zc with the motor...i have no clue how old or what condition they are in, but if it is easy I might pop in the prothane mounts - I generally hate JC Whitney, since I feel they are right up there with APC in fueling the rice brigade, however, some of their shit is cool :thefinger

Nice!! $I found them on their site...$35 is pretty cheap...let us know how easy/hard they are to pop in...that seems like a good deal and something that makes complete sense for an engine swap :bigthumb:
