Wow! You're going all out on this thing. It's gonna drive like new when you're done.
Finally got my motor mounts in...
I just can't figure why GM made them so hard to change. I have all of the suspension out of the way and and it still took close to a full day just to swap them and the trans mount. On a more positive note, Energy Suspension greatly improved access to bolts with their mount design. The new oil cooler lines that I have had hanging on the wall for 3+ years finally got installed too.

Knock it out! Oh and more pictures.
10 hour motor mount job? Are you polack?
That's terrible. I can do a timing belt and water pump on a fwd Honda quicker!
V6 honda is like 2 hrs max with water pump shop time at dealer is 6
Took me 50 hrs to do head gaskets on a lb7 Duramax... you are doing fine!
It’s taken me 15 years to build a Blazer, 2 of which for a full top conversion. You guys work pretty fast.

My all time favorite jobs to do when I was getting paid flat rape... errrr I mean flat rate we’re Honda cv shafts and clutches in 90s Ford festivas. I don’t remember what the cv shafts called for but iirc it was around two hours but if you didn’t follow the book you could knock one out in 10-15 minutes. The clutch job was about an hour job start to finish with a test drive and I think it calls for 4 hours. Transmission in my 07 dodge was awesome too @ 3 hours from the time I drove it in the garage to the time I parked it in the driveway... but it actually cost me about $5500... so really I haven’t ever made any money working on stuff? 
This one is killing me though... it has taken me almost two years to fix a leaky valve cover.
CV boots on Honda's so easy even if that clip is being a pain -zip tie tight as heck cut access off mount straight up in vise set it on smack with hammer lol
2 hours f.sf.w
Zip ties are close to being as useful as duct tape!
PS racks Honda and Toyota are cake walk
They work! When you smack putter joint down zip tie slides on the shaft don't even need to cut it off, does not hurt a thing!
