Can someone tell me how to jack up my motor for header install? Which engine mounts do I remove and exactly how do I jack up the motor? Someone told me to take a jack, put a board on it and then just start pumping the jack. I'd rather make sure.

I was just gunna man it up and wing it... but I love my car and sometimes I'm a screw-up.

Anyone, helpful insight... please.

Searched both links, could not really find the answer to much. Apparently I will have trouble with the rear header, which is WHY I have to jack the motor up, but no-one telling me how to or which mounts need removal.

 

header sticky --> install tips --> quick write up link

tilt from the transmission

boo for not reading the deuce out of the header sticky.

 

Im not sure this is the kinda job you wanna "wing"

 

Front and rear. Those come off then you remove the center member to make more space to work with.

Also, what do you mean by "jack the motor up"? All you have to do is tilt it backwards to make more room to reach the rear header.

 

That clears it up a lot for me, guess I was under some wrong impressions.
