Default broken motor mount.

I have now found that my engine mount on the driver side is disconnected. The bolt that holds the mount to the frame is no longer there, I have no idea what happend. How hard is it to replace this? Right now the bolt holes for the missing bolt do not line up. I looks pretty tuff, a mechanic told me it would take him 8 hours or more and he would have to pull the engine.
I am not going to use the mechanic.
Do you guys know if I have to pull the engine? I will post pictures soon.

If I pull the engine, I might as well just get a bigger cam and some head work done eh?

I are suprised that they said 8 hrs. With the exhaust manifold off the car, and a jack under the engine, it should not be that difficult to change. It is doable without pulling the motor.
