Finished installation of all the body mounts. I was able to reuse all the hardware without having to use longer bolts. 90ft/lbs seems a tad excessive on the mounts IMO. Gather the factory spec wants metal contact between the center sleeve and the lower bushing plate.

Figured I’d upgrade to the REV style mounts. Thanks for the tip on balancer replacement that’s a relief

Body mounts were just slightly compressed 😂 LT valve cover, intake manifold and plenum are back in. Front two mounts are in. Need to address the next (4). Found the balancer has failed - outer ring came off and is contacting the oil pan. Looks like the cooling stack has to come out yet again...
