Default Engine mount

Should I mount my motor mounts to the engine or the chassis in preparation for putting the motor back in the car?

To the engine, If you mount them to the chassis first you will have a heck of a time getting the bolts started and tightened on the motor.

Hi AW,
I, too, found it easier with the mounts loosely bolted to the engine. Remember the right side mount to frame bolt comes in from the rear to avoid the fuel pump.

Alan
