Default Best motor mounts?

Hey guys my new engine is suppose to be arriving in a few weeks, and i figured i would buy new motor mounts. I was wondering what is the very best i can get, and where can i buy some? For some reason i am having trouble finding them. Also I need a new intake manifold gasket and i am also having trouble finding where to buy one. Should i just get these at the dealership or is there better ones out there? Thanks!

Get an intake gasket at a local parts store. Most of them are gonna have a quality Fel-pro gasket. You don't need anything fancy, just be sure to seal it up well with good high temp RTV silicone. As far as motor mounts, I got the Prothane mounts and the driveline is a little steadier over stock. With stock motor and tranny mounts, you could see the shifter stick shaking as you drove it. Since putting the Prothane mounts on the motor and tranny, the stick is steady as a rock. Also if you open the throttle by hand, you'll notice the motor doesn't torque over quite as far as it used to.

I am very pleased with my prothane mounts. As for intake gaskets, I use Felpro's (from Summit or Jegs)and gm grey rtv. Always had good luck out of both.
