Default time for motor mounts, anything else?

so i made the mistake of doing LT's without doing motor mounts while they were out, my question now is

while i'm doing the mounts,is there any other things that would be easier to knock out while im at it? let me know from your experiences please!

Make sure you pit the motor mounts with the tabs facing up and take your time and have fun.

Made the same mistake this spring. However, it's going to have to wait until fall to replace mine. Let me know how much of a PITA it is!

to be honest i had to do one of mine (pass side) with the header in because i had my mount the wrong way and it wasnt bad at all. there was plenty of room to get tools in there.

Op to make thing easier loosen the 4 15mm bolts on the base of pedestal so you can move the mount and tweak as necessary.

I wish I had done my oil pan gasket when I was doing my mounts, they were such a bitch to get in and it was so hot, i just wanted to get it all back together

did you do plugs/wires when you did headers last time? If not, now might be a good time.

Check your Tranny mount while your down there. I did Poly MM and a rubber tranny mount, seems like the best combination.
