Hope this helps.

Jim,
You are absolutly right, am looking to replace the engine mounts at the same time. I also intend to add additional support to the side pipes and also considering additional support to prevent the motor twisting under heavy acceleration.
I am convinced having seen the inside of both the Pilgrim Manifold and the side pipes that this system is very restrictive, so am eventually going to replace the manifold and the baffels in the side pipes. (I always thought that the car should have gone better than it does, so this probably explains quite a bit.
