Nothing really new here, but I mocked up the headers and intake because I wanted to fidget with it.

My litte project for today was tackling the motor mounts. I used this project as an excuse to get a new tool!

She came in handy when I was working on the rivets. Those things are a pain in the *** by the way.

Finally got the first one apart and confused myself on which mount goes where. The right one is obviously closer in size and shape but the left one is actually the correct replacement.

The replacement fits in nice and snug!

Unfortunately I had a few casualties along the way.

Now that they are disconnected, its time to send them off to the powdercoater with my alternator to freshen them up. Some before shots to reference later:

BTW, the new mounts came with 5 bolts, 3 small and 2 large. Do these go in specific spots or does it not matter? Thanks!

Exactly what headers did you use while building this? How is your access to the spark plugs with the headers on? What ended up being the issue with motor mounts and steering linkage on the driver side around the headers? Thanks, and sweet build!
