Looks good man. I'd like to see more pictures. Actually, I'd probably only be happy if I could see the car in person and give it good inspection. Good work like that needs to be appreciated in all it's glory.

I will add a little commentary about the motor mounts. I filled them with a shore A80 poly urethane from McMasters Carr. I HIGHLY recommend this mod for 3s swappers. Its cheap (about $28) and has reduced engine rock to almost nothing. The downside to harder motor mounts is that the car vibrates more at idle. In my case, since I retained the stock rubber and just filled them in, the shore rating is probably closer to A75. There is only a faint amount of extra vibration that I barely notice. If you go to A90, its like having a solid mount which you will feel.

Man, you did a clean job with the mounts...they're nice and flat. When I filled mine with urethane they didn't come out nearly as clean. Nice work.

I just filled mine as well. I'll recommend doing the right and left for any engine. Response is nice afterword. Oh, and I just used the calking like botle for mine, it cost $3.50. Probably got more air bubbles than you. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy

The left and right are the ones next to the firewall and closest to the radiator. It keeps the engine from twisting back on harder launches and coming out of corners. Seems to me that the front and back ones wouldn't do to much. It'd be really had to get the front mount filled with urithan too. I'm going on directions of mounts according to angle of the engine, so no matter how it's mounted, the mounts are always given the same names.

IMO, doing the left and right will add to vibration with no benefit in response. I would think that making them more solid would help keep the engine from shifting as much in corners, particularly when throwing the car back and forth, like in an S-curve or something. Sure, there's no difference when going in a straight line, but I think it would help in the corners. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Its an optical illusion because of the angle of the pics.
