[s-cars] Motor & Tranny mounts

[Sean Douglas]

John:

I just did my engine mounts and it did make a difference in driveline
slop. The original ones didn't look bad to me, but I guess given the age
and mileage, these things wear out.

You may also consider the rear diff mounts as well, I plan on changing
mine soon.
