A motor mount insert for retrofit application to a motor mount. The motor mount is attachable to an engine bracket having a pair of apertures disposed therein, and includes a backing plate and a shell which, when attached to each other, collectively define a cavity having a maximum cavity width and a maximum cavity height. The motor mount insert is positionable between the shell and the backing plate, and comprises a base plate defining a first end having a first pair of tab portions extending therefrom in spaced relation to each other and a second end having a second pair of tab portions extending therefrom in spaced relation to each other. The base plate further defines an elongate bore which extends therethrough. In addition to the base plate, the motor mount insert comprises a resilient material which is molded about the base plate in a manner wherein the first and second pairs of tab portions protrude therefrom. The resilient material is formed to have a maximum material width which is substantially equal to the maximum cavity width of the cavity. The motor mount insert is sized and configured such that the advancement of the engine bracket over the shell subsequent to the motor mount insert being positioned between the backing plate and the shell results in the engagement of the engine bracket to the tab portions of the base plate which facilitates the coaxial alignment of the apertures of the engine bracket with the bore of the base plate.
