Default Replacing Engine Mounts

Has anyone gone though this endeavor? I'm hoping it is as simple as removing the headers for access, then unbolting them from the cradle and jacking up the motor high enough to R&R with new ones.

I just built a complete motor.
Lower engine cradle. The mount bolts are stupid long.

Is this a maintenance thing or upgrade? Do they usually need replacing?

I came to know that my engine mounts are bad when my 9.65" lower started hitting the subframe. Replaced the mounts & gained at least 0.25" clearance

I seem to be picking up a strange "twitch" when stepping on the throttle at times. I can't figure out what it is. Maybe its the the exhaust moving. I'm going to get the car on the rack later this month.
