Replacing engine mounts... A couple of questions:
How long does it take to replace engine mounts? Difficulty rating? Does a dealership normally stock these? If so, how much do they cost?
If you can answer this, you're a god.

Re: Replacing engine mounts... it depends on how much time you got <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
it can be done but depending on how much clearance there is between the header/k-member/engine will dictate what needs to me moved out of the way. I did mine with the headers in and only lowered the k-member out of the way.
I opted to put in poly motor mounts.

Re: Replacing engine mounts... Fireball, where did you get you poly motor mounts from? I know that the LS1 motor mounts from Summit didn't work. Then their other clamshell motor mounts also wouldn't fit the LS1 shells.

Re: Replacing engine mounts... I used energy suspension 3.1116. They are TIGHT but they physically can be made to fit in the clamshell <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
once together they seem to hold ok. 2000 miles on mine and no problems <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Replacing engine mounts... Yes, you use the same part number on both sides. The drivers side was pretty easy (did it with only removing the alternator), the passengers side is going to be a pain.
