ok now that you stated the rubber splits....they may be broken
the rubber is split on the passenger and driver side right in the center...it looks like there are two pieces of rubber on either side just resting on each other
does that sound normal...or does that sound broken

Best trap 107.11mph, we'll see what the new intake/carb setup does.

^^^^^ What he said. Since they are broken you can either put new stock mounts in (Cheapest), or you can upgrade to motor mounts that can't separate. You can also drill a hole in the new mount through the 2 metal plates and the rubber and insert a bolt so that they can't separate down the road.

When i bought my car they were both split at the rubber, and i revved it A LOT, and drove it almost 8 FEET! and when i pulled the motor i had to unbolt nothing lol. It was in there tight alright
i think ill stick with stock mounts, because as you said they are the cheapest. im building a stroker motor right now so i can always upgrade mounts when i pull this motor for the new one.
any recommendations on where to buy them? i normally go through cjponyparts

If you take it to the third story and drop it just right it will clearance itself. Might not be pretty or functional when its done, but it would be in there.
Lakewood makes some mounts called Muscle Mounts, they're a stronger beefier version of a stock rubber type mount. They'll fit a tad tighter than a stock rubbers, but they won't break easily.

The quick way to check is to open the hood so you can see, start the engine and then power brake it slightly. If the motor jumps up you have a broken mount.
