You might want to swing by Auto Zone. They had about four different sizes, and they were under $20 a piece. I know that's a lot better than satan's prices.

working on the car some more tonight I ran into problems... the transmission mount that goes to the pass side fender won't line up... I tried to jack the trani up higher to make it line up, but when I do I just lift the whole car... any suggestions would be nice.... thanks.... I am off to go back to the garage to work on other things till I get some help with this one.... if anyone wants to call me to help out my number is 241-0972... if not just post, thanks

Hey Ben,
Your talking about the only of my mounts I've not had to replace. Jacking on the Transmition worked well for the other 3 though. I would say to do that while someone else bounces on the fender and tries to get it to line up

tonight I heard the most beautiful sound I have heard in over 6 months.... I got all the fluids filled, the air intake installed and the clutch bled......
just then I reached down and turned the key.... the motor turned over and fired almost instantly it ran and the turbo sounded awesome it barely wanted to idle though since the o2 sensor wasn't hooked up and the new GM maf wasn't hooked up.... for a 4G63 running "blind" it ran great.... what a success!!!!
