I think he wants to pull the engine, not replace the mounts. He's shocked to find that there are shocks on the engine -
Ed, I don't think there's much different between the turbo 617 and your 616 engine, as far as R&R is concerned. The shifter stays in the car, one rod gets disconnecte3d from the side of the tranny (if auto) before you pull the combo out. You only need to disconnect the accelerator linkage at one point - closest to the forewall that you can get (memory is failing me here for details). Look around the engine for connections to it, like the oil cooler lines, power steering, etc., sme with wires, mark them on both sides of where you will disconnect them, and go for it. Anything you miss will become apparent as you lift the engine! OK, - that's not the best advise, but it works.
