A short block is as bare as you can get. Only the front cover & front pulley flange, no oil pan.
Pull with tranny? - about the same, unless the bell housing bolts are stuck.
Engine mounts? solid mounts are only for racing/extreme power.
With my mild mods, I added a torque brace to help the stock mounts.
