i think my engine lift is 2000 lbs and cost like 149 bucks on sale.

 

When you said lift I figured you meant a car lift, I was hopefull though that you meant engine lift... that would be ideal, really. I'm surprised you friend with the car lift doesnt have one.

 

Using a phone book is not a bad idea. The paper will "give" in areas that have high (low?) spots like at the drain plug. That's good. Just be sure to lift the engine only as much as necessary. the place people run into trouble is when the jack, jack, jack past the point where the engine stops against something. Then the pressure from the jack can deform the oil pan.

It looks to me like the mounts you are getting *are* only the inserts. You will have to pry open your old mounts steel shell to get the rubber out and your new poly in. I don't know how hard that is. Actuall, I think you have to drill out some tabs to separate the mount shell halves, not pry anything.

This is what I've been looking at for my 94 V6 but I'm worried that urethane is too stiff and will transmit that V6 buzz to the crossmember.

The whole mount for your car will look something like this:

 

hmm okie doke thanks guys

 

i cut about 4 inches outta the middle of the wind deflector thing (what the hell would you call it) from under the rad and jack there seems good to me it doesnt bend or nothing

 

I believe you're talking about the air deflector, and that can seriously degrade your cooling causing your engine to get really hot or you auto tranny to burn up.

 

ya i figured that out when my front end smashed on the rd due to a pothole and it exploded lol but the 4 inches seems to have little to no effect to the cooling now no deflector on the highway doing 70 my car was running at just above half on the gauge with the 4 inches out it runs just below quarter at 70 as for the burnt up auto trans good thing i have the 5 speed
