Forget rubber mounts!
Had same concerns about sidepipes moving around and eventually cracking, body clearance, etc.
Using Energy Suspension polyurethane motor and trans mounts and they work GREAT! The car (instead of just the engine) rocks a little at idle, but no vibrations. The engine is planted good and solid and does not move. No rotational stresses on sidepipes, no air cleaner hitting the inside of the hood. Night & day difference! Have digital shots if interested.
Easy if your frame mounts are OEM '84 up. FFR's that use all late 5.0 parts should be an easy substitution.
I've got a CR and had to fabricate frame mounts. CR frame mounts used MII 302 motor mounts. Most of the professional builders, DV, Don Scott, have newer frame mounts to use the ES mounts.
