welp, i tried doing the drivers side install but i just dont have the rite equipment.

is their anyone else besides fbody motorsports and moreperformance around the charlotte aria that can install motor mounts? i called fbody motorsports and the guy said he had never done this before and he wants to drop the craddle, that doesnt sound too pleasing to me.

who else does motor mount installs and what is the price ill be looking at?

thanks, ryan

 

I recomend finding someone cause it sucks. I did them myself and it was a complete pita.

 

the right equipment? All you need is some jack stands, and a jack, a rachet, and extensions, or some gear wrenches. so PB blaster, or wd40 will help lossen the bolts.

if you take the headers off, it will be much easier

 

hell rent a cherry picker, take off the headers, the valve covers and your there.

 

No need to remove the valve covers. If you are leaving the headers/exhaust manifolds in place, I would definitely take it somewhere.

 

the thing is my whole y-pipe/catback is welded up and i cant figure out how to get the headers off of the y-pipe. also, its my daily driver pretty much and i have school from 2pm-8:30pm evory day during the week.

 

The exhaust shop welded one of my headers to the exhaust (even though I told them not to) So I can't get that off. So I did them while the headers were still on. Won't do it again, that's for sure.

 

Ill be installing my headers soon and was also gonna do the motor mounts, is it much easier with the headers out?

 

haha, I would imagine. I know that 80% of my problems were with the headers being in the way of the wrench.

 

Just make sure you have a friend to push the motor into place while you put the bolt into place.

 

Will do,

Where do you reccommend buying the motor and tranny mounts? I found them on thunderracing.com but not sure which ones i really need, id like to get the motor and tranny mounts, let me know thanks!

 

www.speedinc.com

they price match

 

I drove to Summit to get mine. I needed mine the same day. Speed Inc is good, too. Free shipping on orders over $100. Let us know how the install goes. Especially the passenger side.

 

What is the part number for the ones at summit?

Motor mounts # -?
Tranny mounts # = ?

Once i get everthing ill let you know how it all goes.

Putting headers, custom catted y pipe, plugs and wires, motor and tranny mounts.
Any helpful links to the install of any of these is appreciated thanks!

 

luckly for me, I'm planning on new poly. motor mount/trans mount but, heads/headers will be off cause I'm doing a head/cam swap along w/ headers. so sounds like I should have no problems.

remove the altenator and starter,then you can get to the long bolts, what is a little hard is lossening the bolt to the engine. use a 15mm gear wrench to make it all easier. remove the frame stands, long extintions and a swivel help to. its frustrating but worth it on the first drive after. it took me about 2.5hrs to do mine and showing a few other how.

 

did anyone have a part number from summit for the motor and tranny mounts im not TOTALLY sure on which to get and dont want to get the wrong ones thanks!

 

Same part # as Thunder, 7-512 for motor and 7-1604 for tranny.

 

The tranny mount is correct but the motor mounts for me would be for the 95.That one shows 98-02 ls1.
