Thanks for the feedback. I keep ALL of the original parts, including the original motor mounts. I will give them a solid look to see how much life is left. When the motor is out, it just seemed like a good time to swap them out, but I agree that it's hard to beat the original equipment.

One thing just to check is the original motor mounts may still have e some life left and are far superior to the generic parts store replacement (Anchor) which use metal about half as thick as the originals. Ames sells some repop rubber motor mounts for about $110 which are closer to the quality of the originals.
