Gotta go another route on engine mounts now. The 1991 s10 mounts prolly would have worked but i didnt mount them at the right angle so they seperated. 3 steps forward amd 15 steps back.

Looks like you need some more heat or atleast a lot less wire speed on the welds.

Not my favorite looking motor mount but it should hold up ok.
