If I go with these mounts, does everything else generally fit without modification (fuel lines, vacuum, wiring, etc)?

Yes. Nothing else had to be changed when I did mine. I changed the Oil Pan Gasket as a WYAIT job, and put the stud kit in the pan as an upgrade (and to make it easier to get the pan back on properly).

Dwayne's writeup is a very good reference for it.

I've been running the Roger mounts for about two years now and they are sweet.

Thanks. I need to change mine eventually. My mechanic was recommending solid Ford mounts. He said he did a few on 928's in the past. Sounds like it would transfer a lot of vibration. I will try these instead when I am ready.

Everyone was using the Fords until they stopped producing them in India and started in China. now they don't label the solids and hydraulics separately so you never know what you are going to get. You may order a set and have one of each.

hence the reason for going with the volvo ones.

When you do the Volvo motor mounts, I would consider just going ahead and getting these other things done while under there:

silicone oil pan gasket
oil filter
steering rack and boots ( if rack leaking)

then, if not already done, finish off by replacing the cat with x-pipe and fresh o2 sensor for a nice power boost

Roger sells the better gasket, the x-pipe you want, and the correct rack you need too. You will have all that stuff apart under the car anyway and you will be happy you got it done in the end.
