Great recommendation, @Dirty looks! I had just order some from Rockauto, but I think I would be better off sending those back and buying some heavy duty poly engine mounts. Expensive, but might prevent some headache.
Swapping them out before the headers go on will save you a lot of grief.
In the near future I am removing the inner and outer fenders for something better. (Long travel suspension) At that time I will trade out the passenger side mount, it's just to difficult to do at this time.

@Dirty looks, that sounds cool. I just ordered the set they sell at Speed-Engineering and was able to cancel my Rockauto order before they shipped it out. Good timing! :)

I used their full exhaust kit, 3" stainless single all the way to the back. The longest dynomax muffler they offer works well. An electric exhaust cut out let's that cam chop when you want to let them know you are serious. The young pups in my area are so intimidated that they won't even race me.

Did you lose oil pressure, or why are you replacing the oil pump?

My engine had 265k and the oil pump when i tore down. Pump looked pristine, so I cleaned it up and slapped it back on. Running good pressure...

Now, if your engine oil pressure is low, that could be related to the coolant milkshake circulating through. Water is not good lubrication for bearings :-(
