Since the search isn't working correctly now. Motor Mount questions Doing the swap friday along with my headers. Any pics of the clam shells assembled with the mounts.
I got 5 nut and bolts and 2 zip ties (wtf) Just want some pics and even a step by step of pictures would be great. Since the headers are gonna be out i wont have any problem getting to them.

I have seen some threads, but cannot find them right now.
I just did the drivers side on my 94 T/A. They are a beotch
to be sure. Here is what I did.
Drivers side.
Put car on ramps or raise it up
Remove nut from center bolt. Nut end is 18mm bolt end is 15 mm.
Remove 15mm bolt for transmission mount
Jack engine up slightly to take pressure off center bolt. I got a jack, put a peice of wood on top of jack and lifted left front part of trans before bellhousing.
Remove 3 bolts 15mm from mount where it bolts to engine.
Jack engine up more, then take mount out of car. Will have to twist and turn to do so.
On big end of mount there will be 2 large rivets and small end will have 3 smaller rivets. Drill out all 5. Clamshell will come apart. Remove rubber and replace in same direction/ size as origional. Will only go one way.
Use bolts, nuts to replace rivets and torque to 15lbs for small bolts, 25 for large bolts.
Replace and reinstall in reverse steps.
I got the passenger one loose, but could not get it out without dropping exhaust, ran out of time and put it back together. Will try again this week.

You will use all the bolts to hold the new motor mount in the driver side after you drill out the rivets. The passenger side is so tight to the k-member that zip ties are the only way to hold the mount in the clamshells before tightening the bolts to the k-member. Do one side at a time and jack up the engine the least as possible, I dented my oil pan a bit.
