Finally got my motor and trans back in the car last night. I was just wondering if anyone has run into a fitment issue when using Urethane motor mounts. I replaced mine thinking it was a good idea, and it turned out to be a major pain in the ***. I finally got them in, had to loosen the bolts on the K member, but just want to see if this has happened to anyone else or if I may develop another issue. Thanks.

I just did mine while swapping the K-Member. I can see how it'd be a pain in the *** with the K-Member in place. The stock K-Member is so much more bulky and restrictive. With a tubular frame, there's a lot more space to work around everything.

Just built a new motor and installed poly mounts while the K-member was out of the car. Even though I used an engine crane and had easy access to everything these mounts were still a bitch to get installed. I had to clearance some of the poly material around the two outside bolts on the passenger side cause it was impossible to get the socket on, plus the alignment for the two big bolts was off a good 1/4" or so.

I had to loosen all the bolts in order to fit the mounts together but after a little prying and tugging everything fit together.

I would really hated to install these while the engine was in the car. Severe PITA.

It was a severe PITA. Unfortunately, I had to put it in from the top, which is also a lot of fun. I finally got everything lined up at about 3 am. But now I am on my way and hopefully back on the road soon.

Mine was a PITA as well, I loosened the Kmember and motor side bolts

when I did the motor swap, I did alot of other things including new K-member and poly mounts.... I put the mounts all together on the engine stand and the K-member gave me no problems when I was dropping it in, (like a glove).
