Is it possible to change motor mounts with the motor in. I was thinking of just jacking the motor up a little unbloting the engine from the mounts and replaceing them with the motor suported by a jack is this possible??

archemedes

yes it's possible, is it easy not at all. you may have to unbolt the trans to get enough height, before starting on it take the car to your favorite car wash and use the degreaser and clean the area really well, get a new cap and rotor in case you break it (the distributor may hit teh firewall be careful)

Those motor mount bolts spin in their bore. You have to get a wrench/ratched on the bottom side (have to do it with your springs on there or take your front springs out) and then turn the top part. Gonna say its a two person job really but i guess you could do it by urself. Have fun, tell me how many curse words you said in the process

archemedes

you just have to make the right tolls an air ratchet helps

**** I didnt know it was going to be that difficult!! well I ordered the mounts polyurathane (Spelling??)
Motor Mounts

This is what I ordered but from autozone casue my buddie works their and I get his discount I will get them thursday he said.

I hope it will go alright I will make sure I have all the tools and air guns before I start!

JesasaurusRex

you dont NEED an air gun, but i guess you might be able to get away with out holding the bottom part. I donno im too poor for air tools

archemedes

air tools make it a 2 hour job, without a 2 day job your choice, and pretty much anything energy suspension is good, you need to do teh trans mount too or it will tear up and you will notice a little more vibration since the poly doesn't give as much

Camarocam

Yeah I am doing the trans as well but I didnt need to order that they had it their already in energy suspension so I will just pick it up when I get the motor mounts I also think I am going to do the tourqe arm mount but I have to order that from jegs for get it at a local speed shop cause autozone doesnt have it

Camarocam

Are the mounts reversable like left and right cause I just picked them up and the last letter on both mounts is R does this mean rightside?? is there a left and right??

archemedes

should be interchangable
