motor & transmission mounts

Ok I think you're right. Here's a better pic

I replaced the front motor mounts this weekend on a 1988 LE 5spd 4x4 using WESTAR PN EM9029 from Rock Auto. They had the Toyota PN stamped on the insulator the same as Tim posted in post #10.

For me it was a three hour job. For the passenger side motor mount I had to carefully disconnect the top banjo fitting from the fuel filter. Be sure to use counter force by placing a 19 mm open wrench on the built in bolt of the fuel filter (it is just below the banjo fitting). you don’t want to spin the fuel filter and kink the fuel line. Next disconnect the fuel filter bracket and moved the fuel filter and bracket assembly out of the way. I also disconnected the starter connector and two other electrical plugs to make the working space easier. I placed a 2x4 running perpendicular to the motor just in front of the bell housing (not on the oil pan) and jack it up slightly (just enough weight the jack). Unbolted the four bolts (14mm) from the engine block and the two from the frame (14mm). Once free, I jacked the motor up about an inch. It was a little tricky navigating the old mount out and the new one in as a single unit. But the bolts lined up well with a little help from a drift pin. A lot of tight spaces and slow wrench work for the win.

The driver side was easier. Had to remove the radiator overflow and alternator. I used the same jacking

I forgot to mention removing the support bracket that is attached to the bottom on the intake manifold down to the engine block (it also holds the ground wire) and the support bracket that attaches to the back of the power steering pump down to the motor mount.
