GN V6 Engine Mount Swap

[slo-joe55]

It has been a while since I've posted. Looking for suggestions. Getting the car ready for the summer and just got TA headers back from coating. A complete rebuild was just completed last year, the engine builders has his hands full with other projects, anyway since I am going to changed out the headers I recently picked up some new (HR Part n Stuff) poly engine mounts, so I am looking to change out the engine mounts as well. Here's the question. I am trying to figure out the best place to grab the engine to lift/tilt to swap out the mounts. I do have a cherry picker, just not sure where would be the best place to attach to the engine. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Hope that's clear enough.

A piece of wood on a floor jack worked for me, twice, used the oil pan.

x2! Works well. For mine I went through the wheel wells. Next time I’ll take my headers off though….

Thanks guys I appreciate the input. Now I can get started.

Just go slow because you don't have to lift too far, and be careful with your fingers in there if you have an old Sears floor jack from 1973.

SalvageV6, Thanks.
Do you know of any clearance issue regarding TA race headers and stock (reproduction) mounts?

Not me I've only used stock headers and HR Parts mounts on the drivers side only.
