Re: Engine mounts
What's the big deal? Just get a propane torch and box cutter and go to town on the stock rubber mounts. That's how I finally got the mount-to-motor bolts out on mine, anyway. Be careful when lifting the motor as the fuel lines at the top of the bellhousing can/will get pinched. You're gonna' love the solid mounts :tup:

start on the driver's side....that way, if you run out of time, at least you have the important one in.....took me about 3 or 4 hours to knock it out when I did the driver....didn't even have to remove the driver's side exhaust manifold, but I would imagine it might help to remove it....can be a frustrating job....just have a helper handy for assistance....nice shop!!

Re: Engine mounts
Congrats man...that's great news :tup: I love my solid mounts. Out of curiosity, does your 2-1 shift at ~5mph act clunkier than before with the rubber mounts? I noticed right away, that downshift was a lot harder and noisier after going to the solids. I'm assuming this is one of the tradeoffs of having metal on metal vs. rubber in there for insulation?

Re: Engine mounts
I didn't do mine at all. But supposively they got put in with the diffy, exaust manifolds, crossover, and turbo still in place. I guess they just did alotta reaching and tool fabricating.
And my 2-1 downshift has always been rough and clunky. So I didn't notice a difference.
