Vans shows This part for engine mount EA DYNA VI I(O)-540 BARRY (4 each)
Wanted to check with you guys and see if this is all I would need or if you have found better aftermarket options or also if there are some other parts I should be getting as well?

I didn't order the FWF kit, but rather made a lot of deletions and adds to my finishing kit, which I'm told by Van's is pretty common - especially if you're planning to use different parts for electrical, fuel system, etc....such as a B&C alternator and starter, or EFII system where you wouldn't use many of the parts in the FWF kit.
I agree with getting only the parts you want, and certainly being cost conscious in that effort, however, if you're going to mount an IO-540 to the van's built engine mount, you'll need the EA DYNA VI I(O)-540 BARRY mount kit, which are the isolators (vibration mounts) that hold the engine to the mount using the other needed part kit, EA DYNA BOLT I(O)-540, which is the nuts and bolts.
You will be hard pressed to find these AN quality parts at a lower price anywhere else.
