Aloha all!
Very productive and shocking day. Finally got around to replacing the motor mounts. Was a little easier than I expected. Both sides took a little over an hour or so.
Had the car on ramps so it made it easy to get underneath and do the thang. Did one side at a time as I was afraid that the motor would shift uncontrollably. Definitely use a little PB Blaster on the nuts a few days before. It will definitely help.
I knew the mounts were bad but had no idea how bad until the passenger side fell out/off the car when I removed the bottom nut. Seriously, not sure what was holding the engine in the car other than gravity.
Either way, if you see that your mounts are cracked, look suspicious or you just have no idea how old they are, do yourself a favor and set aside some time to remove and replace them. I forgot to take a look at the transmission mounts, so will be checking those out tomorrow. If the motor mounts are original, I’m sure the transmission mounts are probably original too.
Aloha and have a great day!

Wow, that looks worn!
Looks like the exhaust was keeping the motor in place
