** The best poly motor mount write up ever written **
good looking out. i just used this as my install guide and it took me a total of 9hrs to finish the install. to the bad news, while i was down there i noticed my waterpump/ ps pressure hose need replacement. oh well. :-D hahahahahahaha
So I have poly mounts and headers ready to go on. I'm getting all kinds of ppl telling me it's way easier to headers on a lift. So should I put the car on a lift to get the manifolds out, take it off to put the mounts in, then put it back on for the header install? Sounds like a lot of complication. How much harder would it be to do headers on jackstands? We have a set of 4 huge tractor jackstands that will get the car plenty high in the air. I'd say at least 2 1/2 to 3 feet.
i did headers in my garage on two tall jackstands and two regular stands. a lift is always better because more room to do whatever but its not bad to do it with stands.

I don't know whats are u supposed to disconnect both motor mounts at the same time? This is my first chevy so I'm kinda lost I learned everything I know on fords mustang and the camaro makes it look like an rc car
Quick question, I see everyone saying how hard it is to get the center bolt back in after bolting the clamshell back to the motor. Has anyone tryed doing it the opposite way? Put the center bolt in first then the 4 bolts for the clamshell? Ill be installing mine soon, just waiting on new motor mount bolts because the idiot that installed my motor put them in backwards and I have to either remove the headers or cut them out....theyre getting cut.
After reading thru all 10 pages: the latest feedback suggests the easiest way is to loosen center long bolts, then remove upper bolts from clam-shells to block and then remove lower pedestal bolts to k-member and remove entire assembly to work bench for rebuild w/new bushings, then install in reverse.
Correct?

[QUOTE=99'CajunFirehawk157;15606379]On my 99 on the drivers side there is a metal heat shield that goes in front of the mount, does everyone leave those on or toss them
I put mine back on.
I put mine back on.
Did most of you you guys do this on your back? I can get my car on my buddies lift. but i cant tie up the lift for 20 + hours. Im guessing this job is a complete nightmare! I wonder if i should just have it done i got a quote for 450 bucks.
