Thanks in Advanced Jimbo

no step by step pics.. its just remove the mounts by taking off usually the AC, Starter, alternator, and whatever else needed to get the camshells outs. then split the camshells, take out the rubber mounts, install the poly ones, bolt back together and re-install. hmm. sounds easy like that but its very time consuming!

I have a couple pics of drilling the rivets out of the camshells though.

Take the old ones out and put the new ones inside the clamshell, then into the car. Sounds easy enough right? Good luck man, I wish I had some pics to work with when I did mine, this is one of those mods that falls under "YMMV". Anytime a space/logistical issue is involved, it could either go textbook or you could want to off yourself. Yes wear gloves btw. I got ONE in... almost, I took it to my brother in law's shop and he finished the job. With the headers out you free up a lot of space. Good luck.

BTW: when you have the clamshell apart, heat up the residual rubber with a torch and get it out of there, get as seamless a connection between the poly and the clamshell as you can.

Here's a pretty good write-up for swapping out the motor mounts.

just wondering how much for motor mounts at local parts store? figuring to buy them, swap bushing then swap mounts one for as car is up on jacks. I figured that'll cut car down time.

It is not an easy job to do but LT headers and stock motor mounts is asking for a banging Y pipe.

That right up is very helpful. But since I gotta take all those acceorys off I might do it when I do a underdrive pully since the belt will be off and all that jazz.

Anyone know how to modify a Energy Suspension mount to fit our cars? I don't have days to wait for one to be delivered.
