Changing motor mounts with engine in car

Yep. Take the distributor cap off so you don't break it. I used to take the battery out but you can do it with it in. I just like stuff out of my way.

Then take the nuts off the bottom of the mount from underneath. Put a 2x4 under the pan and jack the engine up far enough to clear the K member and unbolt the mounts from the block. Change out the biscuit and reverse the process.

IMHO... I'd use solid steel motor mounts instead of rubber. Rubber fails. And I've never felt vibration from using solid mounts. Just another reason for me to detest the spool mount K member.

Thanks! That doesn’t sound too bad. I did think it might be easier to remove the bracket and all from the block and just swap the buiscit from there so glad you confirmed that.

I have often thought of going with steel mounts and most likely will for sure after this. I just happen to have a new rubber mount in the box here and need the car moving by in the morning. Will definitely look into ordering some solid mounts. Was something like this what you had in mind?
