Motor Mount needs a fix!
i'm not sure how long they have been breaking, but the other day went accross a hard bump and heard a bad noise! when i finally got it home to inspect i found that all three bolts on the right motor mount have been sheared off in the block. any ideas on an easier fix than pulling the motor? might have enough room to drill from underneath, but it will be difficult. any help would be awesome. thanks.

if you cant get to them with a angle drill if there enough room you might want to see if you can get someone to weld nuts on them and back them out...
