[V8] Solid motor mounts...

[Seamus O'Carey]

I don't think it's the engine mounts that are bad in my car.  I'm pretty
sure it's the tranny mounts that are causing the vibrations.  I looked at
the front motor mount on the passenger side (below the alternator) and it
doesn't appear to be broken, and I was able to see the mount on the driver
side which also seems to be ok.  I guess it's possible that the passenger
side mount is broken and just hasn't damaged the other mounts yet, but I'd
be willing to bet that it's ok as well.

I think I'll leave the engine mounts alone for now and see about replacing
the tranny mounts.  If I still get vibration after that I'll then turn my
attention to the engine mounts.
