Just saying thanks for the info Slick. I was 95% sure my motor mounts were shot... and now am 100% sure. Will be DIY'ing this when I have the engine apart for valve stem seals, alternator bracket gasket, upper timing cover gaskets, and valve cover gaskets.

That's going to be one helluva week or two... not looking forward to it.
