Good work!

Your 1990 probably has the old style smaller rubber motor mounts instead of the larger hydromounts but::: Post a photo of your current motor mount, we can help you decipher a suitable replacement.

See Attaching Photos Sticky for help attaching photos.

You'll want to run that engine at recommended operating temp. (factory thermostat is 186*F IIRC) which should register the needle halfway on the temp gauge. Even the good quality tstats can fail. Running undertemp can encourage combustion chamber and ring landing coking and carbon buildup.

You can use an infrared no-contact thermometer on a suitable flat black surface, such as the radiator or rad hose, to verify the operating temp.

What kind of injection systems do your diesel locos use?
