Need a little help in the East Bay...
I think one of my motor mounts is a goner, so I'm looking to replace it. If anyone knows a reputable shop in the Berkeley/Oakland area that'd be great.
Or:
it doesn't look like it's too hard to do, but I haven't the right tools (no jack, stands, engine lift, etc). If someone was willing to let me use their tools, I'd be more than happy to repay with pizza and beer, or other as is appropriate.

Do you know who put that on? Maybe he'd be interested in hosting another mini-mod day if I brought a case of beer?

Actually while precision in Hayward is a great shop, more so with older corvettes then the C5's, their labor rate is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY high. They are more per hour the the Dealers.
I would suggest Synergy in Fremont. 510 796-1282
You can ask for Rick and tell him Aldo sent you. His rates are one of the least expensive around and the guy and his mechanic know their ****. Rick is an excellent tuner and has a Dyno as well. I am in know way affiliated with him, though he does have quite a few of my benjamins.

Thanks all for the offers and information. I tackled it today and finished it up. I didn't think it'd get here from Summit that fast (ordered Friday afternoon, arrived Saturday noonish). I managed to scare up the tools I needed around the house today. Probably took longer than it should've, being that I did it with the car still on the ground, but it's done and looking good.
Once again, thanks for all the offers, and I hope I can keep it together long enough to make it to the next mod day.
