From: Who says "Nothing is impossible" ? I've been doing nothing for years.
I run solid mounts after replacing rubber ones over the years. I run road race track days and the solids allow me to run the exhaust higher because the engine doesn't move so now I get more clearance on a lowered car.
Two positives I found: Chassis seems stiffer as the engine becomes a stress member. I don't have exhaust leaks as engine/exhaust doesn't move within chassis.

So, question for all of you who have replaced your motor mounts (poly or solid):
Is it possible to replace the stock ones without really removing the engine? Can you jack up the engine a little, with a floor jack to provide clearance and insert the solids?
Or do I have to go rent an engine hoist?
