I know this topic is a few months old, but I have just replaced my starter motor on the 3.2 - it's a bit of a fiddly job; the hardest part I found was undoing the top starter bolt as you are working blind with a shortish extension and not much room for leverage.
I think you may have been mistaken regarding the engine mounting itself confusing it with the alloy mounting bracket - there is a single nut on the top where the engine mounting bolts to the body of the car, and single nut on the bottom of the engine mounting which bolts to the alloy bracket, which in turn has four bolts to secure it to the block.
That is probably where your confusion lies regarding the actual engine mounting and the alloy bracket on the block.
