    Eric,

    Put the TA mounts in it now. It'll save you ALOT of hassles. I used Postons swap pads in my car and everything(other than the headers hitting which is normal) worked fine. TA's fit as good or better I have been told in some cases. Just my opinion.........

    Eric,

    OHHHHHHHHHHH motor mounts. For some reason I thought you were talking frame mounts/pads. The motor mounts I used were the big car mounts with the 2 sets of holes in each one. Takes a little work jimmying' them in but once you do it once your set for life. It's not that hard once you do it once and learn were to put your hands,lol. Sorry bout' the confusion, all my fault. Hope this helps.....


    later..........................
