Oh yeah i forgot that, Thanx. i added it now.

I did my driverside mount today. It took me to long and it is only because i did not go through the process properly. On the driverside in order to get to those upper bolts that attach the clam shell it is easier to pull the big bolt and unbolt the perch that mounts to the k member. I saw the bolts on the clam shell and kept messing with it. The factory put alot of loctite on my top bolts and i had to put some major muscle on them to break them loose. I could not just use a wrench it tore up my hand. Once i got the perch moving around I was able to slide my ratchet in from the front to break the bolt loose. If I had gone by the directions here i would have had both done today. Oh well at least I know for the next time and the other side.

Can anyone find an assembly diagram for the motor mounts and part numbers for the clamshells? I have some poly mounts and will be installing them with headers real soon.
