How did you change your motor mounts ?
sbc motor mounts on 3d Gen F-bodies **** me off , its simply a piece of rubber bolted down to the K-member yet they use bolts with nuts hidden inside the darn K-member , and worst of all they make it a PITA to reach the nuts ,they put a big ugly control right in front of them just so you cant acces them . sorry for the rant , but really i would like to hear different methods .

It takes time but with a variety of extensions, universals, and universal sockets you can get to them.
Personally If I were to do them again, I would go ahead and pull the A-Arm, im sure they could use new bushings and it would be a great time to do it.

Makes you wish they'd just welded a nut to the bottom of the k-member doesn't it?
I bought a cheapo 15mm combo wrench, and heated it with a torch about 1 1/2 - 2" away from the head, and bent it in a vise. You'll know what to do if you look on the car. Between that fabbed tool, a regular 15mm wrench, & a ratchet with extensions & a swivel socket, I could reach all of them. PITA though!
