I guess I'll address the motor mounts.

I'd change those out for sturdier ones even if you kept the 289. I ended up shearing one of mine completely in half, and I rarely even give the engine half throttle. Considering the max hp/trq is around 225, you have to admit they're pretty pathetic. The other one was on it's way out too. The '66 style mounts I ended up installing are doing the job nicely. It's really cheap and simple to do, also.
