Rubber Bushing Replacement

Maybe so but it was "pickled" for over 10 years and has been performing
flawlessly ever since in So. Cal.

I think you are correct about changing them out. I was told it would require
taking the engine off. Is there a cleaver trick to change them without a total
dismount? Thanks.

You don't have to take the engine all the way off. Just hook the
engine up to a hoist and put slight tension on the support/hook.
Loosen all 4 engine mount bolts and then change 2 bushings at a time
(top two, then bottom two for example). To do this, remove the top
motor mount bolts and lower the engine with the hoist slightly to make
room to change the top bushings, replace the top motor mount bolts
(don't tighten them yet), then remove the lower mount bolts and raise
the engine slightly with the hoist to make room to change the bottom
bushings, then replace the bottom mount bolts and finally tighten /
torque all 4 bolts.

There should be enough slack in whatever hardware attaches from the
firewall to the engine and ancillaries to facilitate bushing
replacement in this fashion.
