I think I might end up going your route I'm gonna see if I can check and see by open the hood and looking to see if I can reuse them, because I am at work so I am not able to check right now were your original ones that matched the diagram metal like?

Well, I'm seeing some pics at least....... are you hosting those elsewhere?

No clue on why you can't post pics, we are still waiting for an admin response. (don't hold your breath......)

Yep, that's the motor mount below the heat shield. Two pieces, one bolts to the frame, (or, might be riveted) the other bolts to the engine block. If you pull them off the block, check the freeze plugs behind 'em. They LOVE to rust out.

A link to a freezer plug removal and installation example
Now what confuses me is I believe this goes along with your coolant system, so he had said once you replace them to do a coolant engine flush. Now so once I replace the motor mount and freezer plug, do I just flush the radiator and stuff with water then add coolant back to the system? Whats your thoughts??

What he means by "coolant engine flush" is run water through your engine or a cleaner through there to clean the coolant passages

Yes, it will. Drain as much of the system as you can before you remove them, otherwise, you get a shower.
