If you have the proper tools, the Tbelt is a pain but doable in your garage. The old style hydraulic tensioner needs to be slowly squeezed down, a bar clamp will do the trick. The Sbelt is a one hour job. The Tbelt can be 3 hours or so.
Call your garage and ask for their rates. FCPGroton uses a Continental belt and OEM is Gates.
For the top engine mount bracket, try the salvage yards.

Please answer, we need to know if the advice is good or bad. The 164 has a new home, all I am left with are 2 turbos :)
