Motor Mount replacement
This is my first Corvette. I have a 1977 Corvette and I may need to replace the Motor Mounts. Can I replace them without removing the Engine.

Hi j,
Welcome!
First post!
Yes, generally the mounts can be replaced by just jacking up the engine a little bit… just enough to pull the mounts out and the new ones in.
Regards,
Alan
3 short bolts into the engine block and 1 long bolt through the frame bracket.

Yes, as Alan says. Be careful how much you jack the engine. Your dist'r could hit the firewall, fan hit the shroud, etc. Place a piece of 2X4 across the bottom of the oil pan and jack the engine to required height and then support the engine with a jack stand. Also, use jack stands to support the car.
