2wd Tahoe truck 4.3
I'm looking for any useful tips in replacing this motor mount. Not sure where the best spot is at to brace the motor.
I'm planning on running the truck up on ramps, then cuming up from the bottom with a floor jack for support of the motor.
I may be attempting this in the next 7 days or sooner.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.How do I change my 88 Chevy S10 driver motor mount?
If possible, it is always best to place the jack under a solid part of the block. Most of the time this is not possible. I usually end up placing it under the oil-pan. Always use a block of wood between the jack and the pan to keep from damaging the pan. Before putting any pressure on the pan remove the nut from the mounting bolt. Place a small amount of pressure on the pan and remove the bolt. Lift the engine just enough to be able to remove the mount and install another. (It may be necessary to remove the mounting bolt on both sides) After installation of the new motor mount lower the engine and replace the bolt.How do I change my 88 Chevy S10 driver motor mount?
A safer and easier idea may be to use an engine lift if you can borrow one, and then lift from the top from an accessory bolt from the head on the driver's side. Even so, make sure that you have something like a jack stand under the engine when you do that. At least then you will only be working around a jack stand instead of both that and a jack. You'll like having the extra room.

Which is the better motor for a 69 Mustang: 351 Windsor or 460?
And how hard is it to change the motor mounts for the larger engine?Which is the better motor for a 69 Mustang: 351 Windsor or 460?
The 460 would fit but it would be tight and require specialty headers. The 351W will bolt right in and use many stock parts.
My favorite for a 69 Mustang would be the 351C (my 1970 had one) but since you don't have ready access to one I would lean toward the 351W.
The 460 will, like you said, cost more. The extra weight will require better front springs, shocks, sway bar and brakes to make it a comfortable driver. It will also need a bigger radiator and possibly a bigger rear axle.
If you only want to go in straight lines and not stop quickly, then go for the big block. It would look more impressive in that engine bay.
Either way, have fun

use the 351w it is a better hp to weight balance, if you use the big block, be very careful applying brakes the car will go into a spin too much weight on the front end will cause the rear end to come around to eliminate? or control this problem you will need a brake proportioning valve for the mast

People act like you are going to be doing this for a daily driver I take it you will be driving it when you want to have fun, with that in mind go with the 460 it will produce tons of torque and I still cant understand why people think a small block revs higher or faster than a big block they do not,plus there are plenty of 68-71 model 429 heads out there check on Ebay,just installing a stock set raises compression from 8:1 up to around the 9.25 :1 ratio with no other mods,and you get the cool factor for running a Big Block Ford in a 69 Mustang both are rare these days and lets face it if you were really after better fuel mileage we would not be talking about 460 any way.Which is the better motor for a 69 Mustang: 351 Windsor or 460?
351, because the 460 is too wide, doesnt fit. The 429 boss had the inner fenders and spring perches modified to fit. Modifying the 351 is going to be cheaper and easier too

71-73 Mustangs were designed with the 429 in mindWhich is the better motor for a 69 Mustang: 351 Windsor or 460?
Neither one. You want the 429. Use the 460 block and change the heads. You will go from the 365h.p. in the 460 to 425h.p. in the 429. I know because I did it 2 yrs ago to my 1972.Which is the better motor for a 69 Mustang: 351 Windsor or 460?
While the 460 wasn't offered in the 69, it can be installed with aftermarket parts...The 351 would be a much simpler install and still have great potential..Which is the better motor for a 69 Mustang: 351 Windsor or 460?
Get a 351 Cleveland 4V :D
you can make gobs of power and toque with that engine, and they sound sweeeeet!Which is the better motor for a 69 Mustang: 351 Windsor or 460?
351 is much less weight and will consume less fuel, runs higer rpms, 460 is a power/torque house

Going with 460

How to swap a 292 inline 6 for a 350 engine?
I'm trying to figure out how difficult it will be for me (bellhousing, bolts,tranny,etc) to remove the original 292 inline six motor that came with my 1965 chevy 1/2 ton c-10, and put in a newer 350 engine. Do I need to change motor mounts,etc? Is there any benefit in just rebuilding the 292?How to swap a 292 inline 6 for a 350 engine?
It should change over easily. You will need new motor mounts and you will need to install a bigger radiator for the 350. The stock radiator isnt large enought.How to swap a 292 inline 6 for a 350 engine?
With gas prices going up, why in the world would you want to do that?
A stock truck, is worth WAY more money. Especialy a classic like that.

well i think you should go ahead and do the engine swap you'd have a lot More power that why
yes you'll need new motor mounts and a turbo 350 or turbo 400 tranny

1996 Dodge Ram 1500 318 (5.2) to 360 (5.9) Swap...?
So, my old Ram has a lot of miles, but still looks pretty good. Rather then spending enough money to buy a house on a new truck, I'd rather fix mine up. If I'm going to put a new engine in it, I'd rather go for a 5.9, but I'm not sure how much work is actually involved... Do I need to change the wiring harness for the computer, does the fan shroud need changed, will it bolt strait up or will I have to change motor mounts, will it work with the existing transmission, and will I have to change the gear ratio at all? Any and all help will be appreciated, but I'm looking for anyone who's actually done it to my generation of Ram. Many thanks!1996 Dodge Ram 1500 318 (5.2) to 360 (5.9) Swap...?
These 2 engines are the same block, so motor mounts, transmission hookup, fan shroud and such would all be the same. Wiring harness should be pretty much the same too, assuming you get a 5.9 with the same fuel injection (all 93-96 V8's probably) and ignition system (all same years of V8's should have Electronic Distributor Ignition System) setup. Other than the actual engine swap, about the only other thing you should need would be to change to the 5.9 Powertrain Control Module, because they are calibrated differently for the internal size increase. The donor vehicle vehicle having the same transmission would probably help with the computer compatibility too. Both engines were offered in the era in question, with the 5.9 found a little more often in 4wd models, and the 5.2 a little more common in 2wd models.

How to put a motor mount?
I have a 89 Honda civic trying to change the rear motor mount on it put the back bolt on it it's really hard to get out there's no space on the sides or on the bottom to reach it with a wrench or sochet wrench... Any help how to take out the bolt would help thanksHow to put a motor mount?
try taking off the whole mount.meaning where it connects to your engine and where it connects to your frame.be sure and support engine.How to put a motor mount?
Your best bet would be to consult a manual. If you do not own one and can buy one, you can purchase one at Auto Zone or Oriely's. If you want to save a few bucks go to the local library and check one out. The manual will give you the best and easiest way to get the motor mount changed. Also check out the Auto Zone website, which has a place that shows how to perform different types of maintenance.
Good luck,
Bill

Does anybody have any instructions on how to change the front motor mount of a 03 Honda odyssey.?
Front and side motor mounts are badDoes anybody have any instructions on how to change the front motor mount of a 03 Honda odyssey.?
you have to remove the intake manifold and ignition coil covers and the upper radiator cover to get to the front engine mount. It takes about 2 hours to replace it if you're in a shop and have all the tools.
if you want the instructions I can scan them and send them to you but you need to send me your regular email address as I can't attach a file to a Yahoo Answer. to send me the email address and keep it out of the searchable Yahoo Answers database, click on the icon above my name to the left of this answer then select 'email' from the upper right corner and click on that. In the email include your email address and I'll send the instructions to you.
hope that helps

Motor mounts for Ford taurus 1992 SW- how much it would cost to replace it?
I had this care for morethan a year, paid $1300 and it was in great condition. now I am selling It, but , the thing is I am not in the States now and the guy who wants to buy it offers me $750 for the car only if it's worth changing the motor mount. So, I don't know if there is one or more motor mounts in my 3.8 V6 engine and what is the price for it. If anyone could give some feedback on that I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.Motor mounts for Ford taurus 1992 SW- how much it would cost to replace it?
there are 4, 2 front mounts (engine mounts), 2 rear mounts (transmission mounts), its not the price of the mounts its paying for someone to put them in thats expensive... one mount maybe about US$25 and about 1hr - 1.5hr to put in, the hourly rate will depend on which auto work shop you choose.... personally i would tell them $750 as is, and not to stress the mounts are cheap. :)
