After calling around to my usual parts sources for new, OEM, hydraulic motor mounts ($$) I ended up going back to the recycler where I had bought my used engine.
The car that the engine came out of still had a decent set of motor mounts (original, 68k miles), a little weathered but not leaking. They sure as hell beat the ones that came out of my "highly maintained" '89 765T that I picked up with a blown motor. In 30 minutes I pulled the mounts and the sunroof motor which left me with another 2 hours to kill before closing time. Figured I had the afternoon off from work (vacation time), wife was working, so I had better make good use of it. Ended up spending the majority of that time pulling the Nivomats from a '94 965 with 78k miles. Thankfully the yard has about 5 feet of sand underneath the cars... Man was I tired after I finally got the second one out.
Ended up paying $20 each for the Nivos, and $50 for the sunroof motor...motor mounts were free. :) The guy at the counter didn't believe that the shocks came off of a Volvo, in fact, he thought they came off of a full sized Chevy. All in all, not a bad deal for what I got. I almost crapped my pants when I found that new sunroof motors are like $300...from FCP Groton!
