It's really simple, just be careful about jacking the moter up on the oil pan. Mine was rusted and I cracked it when I changed my mounts.

Yea, I loosened the 2 motor mount nuts (1 each side). Jacked the motor up by the oilpan. Made sure it was secure. Removed the nuts. Removed the mounts from the block. Installed the new ones. There was only one way for them to install so it was a snap. Mine were not adjustable. I used Energy Suspension motor mounts. Have fun.

Did you have to unhook the exhaust to jack the motor up or is there enough play to get em out?

Well i have long tube headers so O2s are moved down , i didn't have to take anything else just 3 bolts on right mount and 4 bolts on left mounts (one extra bolt on left mount is on top another and it holds groung wire to the block)
