1j Motor Mount Removal Question

[honestabe]

I need to swap out the square motor mount on my pre-89 1J with BIC adaptor brackets. Question is, is this possible to do without an engine hoist? I am using a jack right now, but I cant get the motor to raise enough. :1zhelp:

put the jack under the pan ... you have an extra pan right?

hoist is a very good idea

I'll be doing this also when I get my solid mounts. I use a block of woods to raise it high enough. My question is can the mounts be taken out without removing the brackets?

sorry for the thread jack...

Yeah but the engine has to be high enought for the stock mounts to slide out, also if you have an aftermarket y-pipe its going to be pretty dang tuff to get to that bolt that holds the bracket to the mount.

I jacked the motor up as much as I could using blocks, but it got to the point where I was lifting the entire car and not just the motor. Guess I'll have to buy an engine hoist.

You might have to unbolt the bracket from the block......when I installed my pre 89 poly mounts, I had to use a engine hoist to get the mounts swapped.

Ok, that's what I thought Randy. I'll get an engine hoist shortly.
