I did mine years ago on my turbo 740.The passenger side has one underneath but i cant remember if the drivers side does.You'll need a hydrolic jack to raise the front of the engine a few inches so you can slide the mounts out attached to the lower bracket(the nut that attaches the mount to the lower bracket cant be reached while its attached to the frame)You may need to loosen your exhaust downtube , trans mount and maybe your radiator hoses for a little freedom of movment.I already had my exhaust off because i ws replacing exhaust manifold gaskets.After you do your engine mounts you should go ahead and change your trans mount also.If your engine mounts were that damaged the trans mount probably is too.I have the very bouncy mounts on my engine(designed to shear away)but theyre so bouncy that my oil lines keep loosening.For mine next time i'm going to forgo safety and put some in that are much firmer to stop the engine movment.Enjoy its a pretty easy opperation and the engine is fairly lightweight just make sure theres nothing to get pulled loose when you jack up the front of the engine.Put a block of wood between the jack and crankshaft pully and go slow and it'll be a breeeze.
