I got the clamshell out without taking pedistal out. It's amazing how much space is there right now. Passenger side motor mount off. Ya u have the laptop on my workbench with the write up with the scissors jack trick up as we speak. It's 28degrees in billings mo. I'm tryin not to break ne thing lol.
I just did mine and it wasn't so bad. I didn't take the pedestals out but I loosened them up so they could move around. Put the new mount it, bolted it to the block, lowered the engine a little to line it up with the pedestal, inserted bold then tightened down the pedestal. Wasn't too bad. I did one side at a time.
until i took out the passenger side mount bolt, Then fell right in. The rest was cake.

Most will say you can throw it away, but I reinstalled mine.

well with a grinder and some elbow grease it went in. to all those gonna do this by yourself tie a rope around the last and front pipes hold it with your other hand to put the bolts in. i would have pics however its hard to hold a bolt in one hand header up with a rope in the other and a camera in your mouth. lol
