Question Should I Replace engine mounts???

Alright, I've got my S13 front clip and I'm getting ready to swap the engine. I've heard from some people that I should just use the stock engine + tranny mounts. Now it seems to me like solid polyurathain (sp?) mounts would be a good thing to put in when Im doing the swap cuz it'll be really easy then. Right? I was looking at getting the Nismo set but I understand there are other options out there. Also, should I upgrade the clutch and flywheel while the engine is out tof the car? I would like to take care of these types of things to avoid having to pull the engine out alot. Ive searched abit but havent found a ton of info on it. Any info would be great, thanks.

I would upgrade all of what you said, simply due to the age of the car and not knowing if the new clutch took some abuse

Do the clutch / flywheel / rear main seal all at once since you'll have the tranny open.

As for engine/tranny mounts, the Nismo ones are common but they do their job well. If you have to pinch some $, use your stock engine/tranny mount for now, but upgrade ASAP. You can install the mounts later without having to pull the engine out.
