Engine and gearbox - how hard to fit to car?

[1795]

Glen,

How easy would it be to replace the engine mounts with the engine in the bay? How much room would you have with one motor mount removed? If there will be enough room it might be easier to hook the engine up to one mount, rotate it upwards, install the second mount and then lower the engine back into place. I just wonder hw easy it will be to have the engine in the bay with no motor mounts in place and then had to install them and line things up. Maybe it is not that big of a deal, except how easy will it be to install both motor mounts from above? While the mounting bolt to the engine block through the mount can be done from above, I am not sure if you can install the mounts to the frame from above with the engine in place. I had to change out my motor mounts because they were the wrong ones and was able to disconnect one at a time, rotate the engine and install the new mounts. From what I recall, I had to do this working from above and below the engine.

What do you think Dan?
