The PO of my 1983 300TD lost the oil in just this manner while
crising on the freeway in Missouri. The engine collapsed directly
onto and broke an oil cooler line, with disastrous results - even
though he stopped the car as soon as the engine light came on.

Finally, get your parts from Rusty; some of the cheap stuff
on ebay is old rubber that's gotten too hard or too soft (no point doing the
job twice).
Amen. Stuff from FLAPS, online dealers, fleabay, etc may be old,
knock-off, or whatever. Rusty can get you the good ones for less.
Otherwise

Okay. SWMBO MB engine is bouncing off the frame and making all kinds of racket.
I interpret this to mean in needs engine shocks. What else do I need to change
with them?
Motor mounts aren't too pricey. Neither are the shock mount hardware kits.
However,

I assume this is a turbo 617 diesel because it has the engine shocks. As I
recall, the shocks only damp engine motion during starting and, especially,
shut down. They should have practically no effect on a running engine. So
I'd recommend a good look at the motor mounts; these are cheap enough
Rick,
If the motor mount on the driver's side is collapsed check to see if the oil
cooler line has clearance where it runs past the spring upper mount. If
there's
no clearance change the mount ASAP. Eng vibration WILL rub a hole in the
line
and make the BP oil spill look like a minor leak.
