->The rubber in the mounts is probably soft due to age, oil, & stress.
->Engine mount replacement should be pretty straightforward.
->- disconnect the radiator, short wires & hoses, etc.
->- Undo the nuts/bolts on the mounts
->- jack or lift the engine, mostly on one side at a time, to get enough
->  room to remove the old mount, and insert the new.
->- "reassembly in the reverse of the above"
->make sure you reconnect the Block to Frame ground wire.


        Actually, you don't need to disconnect anything. There's plenty of 
play in the system. And jack it up before trying to loosen the bolts to the
frame to take the shear pressure off the bolts so that they will turn.

        For some reason, TR-6 motor mounts never seem to last me too long....
