I have new engine and transmission mounts ordered from Victor at Spinning Wheels. I plan to replace them in my '89 automatic car next weekend, or the week after.
I plan to raise the engine from underneath (after putting the car on jack stands), and suspend the engine from the top with a support rig of my design. I've located the RH factory lifting ring near the valve cover, but couldn't find anything on the LH side of the engine.
Question: Will the supercharger outlet tube support the engine on the LH side? I'm going to use nylon straps to secure the engine to the support rig once it's been raised. It appears that with the 4 bolts holding the outlet housing to the supercharger, and the fastener holding the outlet tube to the P/S bracket, it would be adequate. Has anyone done this in the past while changing motor mounts, or is there a better support point on the LH side?
Thanks for your input and suggestions.
