It took me 20 minutes for the passenger side mount, and at least 4 hours for the driver side. After trying to get in there with a wrench for an hour and barely moving the nut, I gave up and used a hack saw to cut the bolt and pull the mount out.

Obviously my mounts were destroyed from a previous little accident out in the desert. The new mounts from Atlantic British worked out pretty well.

On another note, after working on a number of things on this motor, it would appear that it really doesn't belong in this vehicle. Anyone know if the diesel is easier to work on? I mean, it really seems that they crammed this thing in there. Really tough to get anything done.

I swear if I didn't like it so much I would push it off a cliff.

 

Yeah the diesel Fits well. The catch is the price. When I looked into it back in December it would have run me close to $10k.

 

I just unbolted both and jack the engine as high as it will go... remove passenger side first then drivers, maybe 20min for both, tight drivers side just makes it in.

 

try workin on an lt1... and the rover starts looking like a training tool.

 

I would push mine off a cliff but i live in florida...cant find a cliff but the everglades is looking pretty good....
