The front engine mount is connected to the frame with one large bolt on each side of front frame. I removed the castle nuts, no cotter pin present assumed
disintegrated. Question... Is the frame threaded? I assume not......
Need to remove both bolts to remove engine mounting bracket to gain access to Timing gears. Also the rubber shock are solidified///no good.... will replace.

Do you mean front crossmember instead of frame? The large bolt that goes through the biscuits is not threaded into the crossmember. If the motor mount bolts go through the frame I think something has been modified or changed.

It is a good time to replace the front motor mount insulators, as you indicate. At least in the past, the best reproductions are those of Bob Drake. His sets include both the upper and lower portions of the rubber and steel insulators as well as the special bolts and the appropriate washers. There is a large black-painted cup washer included in the set (2 required for your purposes) which isn't used in your application.
