    Year and size of motor go a long way in answering this question.

    04+ 3.8 is an easy to move motor mount.
    97-03 It's the mount plus the bracket of hell
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Also, the gasket is not what typically fails, its everything else. Re-using the stock gasket and a bunch of RTV is just as effective as buying a new gasket and installing it with a ton of RTV.

    Use TONS of brake cleaner to get the surfaces ready to stick RTV to, you need as much help as you can get in this area to prevent leaking.
