What special tools needed to get to those wonderful bolts on the motor mounts, if any? Like a bent 9/16 wrench or another hand?

 

no special tools needed, 5/8 on the bolt side (i think) 11/16 on the nut side. driverside you can use socket on the nut, passenger side you need an open wrench, block mount is a 9/16 3 per side.

 

I took the entire front section off of my firebird before we pulled the engine but we had a ton of time and we were parting it out as well. I just used a impact socket and wrench to take it off. The problem was after it was out, we had to lift the engine a little since the little rubber bumpers were catching the bolt. That took more time than actually pulling the engine.

My friend and I spend all summer on that car just to end up parting it out. It was supposed to be my brothers car but it needed too much work. now my camaro will have the sbc 355 so its no bid deal.
