Im going to attempt to change my motor mounts here soon. Currently have solid mounts and going to es poly's.

Gonna go with the 2x4 under the oil pan and jack it up method. Ive read I should loosen fan shroud and watch for hoses and what not. Anyone have anything else to add or what to watch for ?

Thanks!

be careful of the drain plug, don't let the board sit on it or it will bend into the pan

oh yeah, and be careful of those little hard plastic vac lines, they are sometimes really brittle and could break, they are behind the intake

Hah yep...I broke some of those before. They are like pasta. Too far and snap.
