If you're going to go spendy on motor mounts, look at Ironman or Brown Dog motor mounts. I still run your average run of the mill trans mount since it only costs me $10 a pop for my application, so can't comment.
Case has to come apart to do the chain. How hard depends on your ability to read a shop manual, if you have the right tools, and your overall skill level. Have fun diving in!
2. I'll take a look and see what I can find for about the same price, rustys has them along with tons of smaller places
3. I got yea but I needed a new chain when I did the sye and now I regret not swaping it then, do you half to take the tail housing off again? Along with all the lock rings?

well, have you had the head taken to a machine shop? Because if you haven't, it could be pointless to put a new gasket on the block if the head is warped or cracked. Just went through this on a friend of mines truck. While yes, the reason it was running hot was because the head gasket was blown, he went through all the trouble to pull the head off, spend $100 on a gasket, and it didn't help at all. The head was warped and needed to be decked and pressure tested. I just trying to save you some headache and frusturation. How do you know its a head gasket? I'm not trying to be a smartass, I'm just trying to help
