We just bolted it straight in with shorter full thread bolts. Done a few of them. You need to lower the enigine a bit to totally remove the subframe bushings. We built the engine mounts in both cars and lowered the engines, we lowered the engine a lot on Prodigy, maybe as much as 2 1/2" full inches. On Prodigy we also had to make a tall transmission tunnel, about 2" taller then stock. and wider also for exhaust. The trunk floor is raised a couple inches so the rear is higher in the body so the rear suspension is not in droop all the time. Snaking tailpipes through was a treat! There is a tremendous amount of time mocking up and figuring in things like exhaust clearance, oil pan protection, air cleaner clearance, Headers are SUPER tight! Prodigy is belly paned, which added to the fun.
Long as you have a extra few thousands hours, you will be fine.
