is it possible to install motor mounts with long tubes on??
I installed my sphon motor mounts on mine without taking the headers off. It was a total pain in the ***, but I was able to do it in my garage over the course of two days. You just need to drop the starter/ac/alternator to make it just a bit easier.

I just installed my kooks 2 months ago, and now i plan on installed motor mounts next week.
Im kicking myself in the ***.
But im going to try it with headers on, I think with a good swivel socket combo and some extentions I can get it..
Wish me luck.
Anyone else do it without taking off the headers?

Verdad Gallardo Maybe I just like the extra work, but even though it seems like the longer route, removing the headers does make it easier. I dont like to fight things. I've tried to short cut things and not remove stuff and it never works out for me so I dont even try anymore lol It usually ends up costing me more time or money than if I would have done it right the first time.
It would be harder because you can remove the cats off the manifolds and have plenty of room to work. The long tubes go all the way down and under the bell housing so there is much less room under there with headers.
Because you dont have to remove the cats from the stock manifold to change out the motor mounts.
almost everyone has done it without touching any thing on the stock headers.
Either way, instead of having one pipe, now you have four that take up much more room than the cat does. Why dont you quit asking and just ******* try it. Best way to learn is hands on. If you cant get them out with the headers on just pull them off! WOW how hard is that?

Id like info from someone who has done the install . Learning hands on is fun, but If I could get tips and shortcuts from some one who has already done is a big help.
Thats what the forums are for. The share helpfull information with other V owners not for bored ******** like you.
I assume you have never installed headers on the V , Its kind of a pain in the ***. So I'd like to avoid it if possible.
please dont trash this thread anymore unless you have some usefull information.
See everything in my sig? Yeah, I installed it. I have turned every bolt that has been removed from my car. I've had the engine and trans out and in several times. I've changed motor mounts more than once with the engine in and out of the car. I've had the headers off more than once. Motor mounts are a big pain in the *** and I pulled the headers. You can do it however the **** you want.
Obviously you have never installed motor mounts on the V. Its kind of a pain in the *** and is much easier with the headers removed but I'm sure it can be done. Hey! What a novel idea! Why dont you try it and tell us how it goes since nobody here has done it with headers on! Gotta start somewhere!
