Aftermarket motor mounts?
I can't find any aftermarket motor mounts, mine are really bad. Anyone have any suggestions, I am looking for a direct replacment.

Yes. Every parts store in the world either has them or can get them. If you're independently wealthy, the dealer does too.
Or you can go to Rock Auto, and use our club 5% discount listed in General Chat.
Assuming this is for your 93:
Torque axis mount (big sucker by your water pump): Anchor part #2801 for $51.79
Good quality. I have one on the Zilla. Price not including our discount. PITA to change. Is oil-filled, so in general, I'd leave it unless it'* leaking or the rubber is obviously cracked.
Front trans mount. The most likely culprit: Anchor part #2800 for $18.66 not including our discount. Kindof a pita to change for a first-timer. This is the mount you can see at the front of the engine/trans on the driver'* side behind the radiator fan down low. Towards the driver'* side from the starter.
Rear trans mount: Big PITA to change. Also hydraulic (oil-filled). Rear of the trans pretty much directly towards the rear of the front trans mount described above. Anchor Part #2823 for $71.79 not including our discount.
Differential dogbone mount. Looks like a dog'* bone coming off the differential on the passenger side (near the R side axle). Can't seem to find it in the listing, but I have a new replacement here. You're not likely to need it, but if you wanna do it anyway, the part number on my box is Anchor #2662. AH! Got it. They call it a Torque-Strut mount. Under the engine category. Two to choose from for about 20 bucks.
When you order these, come on back to this topic and we'll tell you how to install whichever ones you got. I'd personally start with the front trans mount and maybe the torque axis mount first. They are the most likely to fail (in that order), but the rear trans is as likely or unlikely to fail as the torque axis mount. The dogbone should never fail unless the rubber bushings in each end are shot.

Well I noticed it when I changed my tranny fluid and I had my buddy that was helping me run it through the gears. From P-R-N the whole engine would move about 6 inches back and forth.

Carefully inspect the front trans mount. I suspect you'll find the steel halves have seperated from the rubber, or the rubber itself is torn.
That may not be the only one though.
