I seen your posts via email... Which solid mounts do you have? have a photo? Ive used spohn engine stands or solid mounts on an f-body that worked great didnt need to tilt the engine to remove the transmission and held up on its on.My friend has the delrin solid mounts ive questioned using the hawks aluminum solids but i was specifically looking at creative steel solid mounts with the stud.
The main thing is with solids will the engine stay up with transmission removed with1 piece solid mounts or will the bolt or stud snap or bend. I was wanting to let the car sit with transmission removed and engine held up by the mounts if that would work im just not sure how much weight is on the back end of the engine. I was looking at getting the creative steel solid mounts. It is for my 04 GTO but they use the same c5 corvette motor mounts 2.75" tall.
