The passenger side mount is NOT the tranny side mount...the
passenger side mount is a larger mount that bolts to the side
of the block...

The tranny mount (the upper side mount, not the rear mount) is the
same on both the 16v and 8v...both the bracket and rubber mount
are the same...

(who's your parts guy anyhow...  ; )
