come on, nobody has changed motor mounts on a 94 camaro, somebody i'm sure has done it.

I just did this on a 95 3.4 Firebird.

Both sides are tough to get at. Be careful, I won't be held responsible for injury or damage.

How I did it:


step...

1. Support car securely on Jackstands

2. Place a block of wood on jack and position under the oil pan

3. Pump the jack 1/2 of a stroke or so to take a tiny bit of slack off the mounts

4. Undo the nut on passenger side Motor mount through bolt (use a 15mm socket on bolt head closest to rad, from above. 18mm and extension with a 1/2" ratchet from below the car on the Nut. Takes awhile)

5. Pull the bolt out (may have to slightly raise or lower the jack to slide it out easily)

6. undo the 3 bolts holding the mount to the frame. 13mm socket on 1/4" ratchet for the bottom bolt (accessed from under the vehicle). 13mm 1/4 or 3/8" ratchet for the top bolts (accessed from above).

7. Jack motor up a bit more, so you can slide the mount out

8. Slide new mount in, shove the through bolt in, but don't tighten yet. (will have to lower the motor a tad)

9. tighten all 3 mount bolts to the frame and then tighten the Through bolt up.

10. Do the Drivers side (Same as passenger side except EVERYTHING IS ACCESSED FROM UNDERNEATH VEHICLE)

dont rely on the jack to hold your motor...get a solid stack of wood and lower the car and allow the car to drop down as the motor rests on a piece of wood on a stand or whatever. before you get under use your jackstands to support the car just enough so if the jack fails it will fall just transfer the weight to the jackstands completely

That sounds unsafe. A jack isn't going to fail by putting a few hundred pounds of pressure on an engine.

make sure the vehicle's weight is supported by jackstands. I had a 3rd stand sitting under the front k-member, just in case.

We're talking like a maximum 3 inches of motor movement, and you'll have a tough time pulling the through-bolt in and out without the variable movement of a jack.
