It wont be cheap, you're looking at $100+ for each engine mount just in parts, stem seals on a v6 will be around $300 at the cheapest price.

better off doing the heads like i am.
Stem seals will be yeah about $300 to replace, as said engine mounts are $100 each, front shocks about $100 each too, rocker cover gaskets about $20, and the air con belt and pulley should be about $60 or so.
thats almost $800 just in Parts, PLUS LABOUR.
For about $400 you can get re-coed heads with new seals and guides, the rocker cover gaskets take like 30 mins to put in not even, shocks are a good few hours, easy to do, only a few bolts, but a tedious task, and you will need a vice and spring compressor, thats about $200 saved in labour already.
Doing the heads you need some mechanical know how, or in my case, friends who have mechanical know how:P
and when you do the heads one of the mounts have to come out anyway so you can replace em all while your at it.
I reckon for that list there your going to be looking at easy $600+ just in labour.
Consider doing some of the easier things yourself mate
