Resurrecting this thread...
I have my engine and engine bay partially dismantled in preparation for
removing the engine. The radiator is out, the fan is off, the water pump
housing is off, the cross tube is removed and I *still* cant get the fan belt
out. I don't see it coming out until I lift the engine so I will be interested
to see how much movement I get in the mounts as I proceed. I think before I do
the actual engine removal I will slacken all the engine mount bolts and see if
I can lift it to the point where the fan belt can escape and use that as a
guide when I reinstall the engine. There is no way I would have been able to
change the fan belt in the event of a breakdown.

Lou ---There is some elongations in most of these mounts, that are slanted. It
is good to get the motor up to at least factory height, to help in changing
the fan belt. Be careful of going too high, (not possible with OEM parts) or
there'll be interference at the steering shaft.

Is it possible to install motor mounts in a fashion where the engine will sit
higher than before?
I have seen the elongated holes on the flange that attaches to car these look
like they provide horizontal adjustment. Is there vertical adjustment
somewhere?
Thanks,
Lou
