   After a 'conservative' test (I didn't pop the clutch or wind it out to
max rpm at ~ 6800) I 'think' my Gnarly Noise may be gone with the
replacement of that soft motor mount.   I'll wait till I have my new CV
joints installed to really give it the full 'abuse-test'.

 BTW, I have a new unused diesel van motor mount, the  '82 style with the
smaller bolt diameter.  I got the wrong one a few years back and I'd like to
sell it to someone for $50....I understand they are No Longer Available.
