LT header install &motor mounts
Going to start pulling my shortys today and putting on my longtubes. With new solid motor mounts while the engine is lifted. I don't have a cherry picker. Where's the best spot to lift up on the engine with a 2X4 and a jack on the oil pan? Just don't wanna crush it!lol...

i wouldnt recommend doin that if you have access to a come-along chain it to the engine and a sturdy beam in a shop or under tree. but if you have no other choice try to put the block and jack on the oil pan bolts along the front of the pan that way its atleast against the engine and not solely the pan. but i would try the come-along before the pan. good luck

I read that you can do it by lifting on the pan, but that goes against everything I've ever been taught. Guess I'll go snooping through my dad's shop and see what I can come up with. Thanks man!!

I lifted bunches of motor by the oil pan. I like to put 2x4 along the edge which is the strongest spot.

When I did my clutch I supported the engine at the rear of the oil pan with a small tree trunk on the jack..
Later the trunk was used as firewood whilst I drank some cold coors lights

Find an engine shop, if they screw it up, you will have some recourse. If not and this doesn't work, please send in lots of photos.

I don't think an engine shop is needed to get an engine mount bolt loose. PB blaster, a wrench and a long pipe for leverage. I use my floor jack handle usually for leverage.

Hmmm, I would stick with the one main bolt and just work on it a bit.
