TIP:
Loosen tranny mount studs prior to removing the worn/broken motor mount. Certainly prior to atempting to install the new one. The windage (side-to-side) pressure while the drivetrain sits tight on the tanny pan is enough that it's virtually impossible to move the whole thing (even with a jack) while trying to align holes. Granted, your drive train might be totally straight and not need the tranny studs loosened...mine did.
