There's a ton of articles here about motor mounts, but yes....they're fairly easy to do. Read a few of the articles to understand some of the stumbling points (seized bolts, lining it back up, etc) before you do it. Might as well do the tranny mount while you're at it. Not too hard either.

Try using both motor mounts and "motor mounts" as the search string. That should turn up pretty much everything you'll need to know. If you still need more info, write back

motor mounts are about 12 bux each from nappa.
not hard to do, just do one at a time. you may have to remove your oil filter to get the passenger side bolt out tho.
use a nice long piece of wood to across your oil pan to support the engine. or use a cherry picker to lift the engine from the top.

I would upgrade to a M.O.R.E. or bombproof motor mount if you are going through the trouble to change them. I've been running mine for over 6 years now and besides dirt and oil look in really good condition.
