Ok so long story short
the threads that goes into the engine block is stripped badly.... what are some permanent fixes? I took it to a shop and they said it might be cheaper if I just get a whole engine than taking it to a machine shop...
What are some alternative that don't involve dropping the engine?

 

helicoil

 

helicoil or timesert to fix the threads. Or you can have a mechanic retap the threads a size larger

 

If you are talking about the top of the mount where it goes into the engine side, the engine side is an aluminum bracket that's bolted to the block with 3 bolts. They can be removed independently of the block and changed out.

 

Do you know the timesert size that im going to need? I got the helicoil full kit but i rather slip in there some timeserts instead

 

Look at the factory thread size and upsize!
