the only problem I had was my engine support pulled the engine towards the bulkhead so I needed to wedge a piece of 4x4 between the driveshaft and the bottom of the engine to keep the hole in the chassis lined up with the support bracket.

Thanks -- I'll likely be tackling this myself in a couple of years. Glad to hear it's not too intimidating!

Yeah nothing magical about it.

You don't even have to pull the motor mount if you use the ninja method of taking the tensionerr stud out with vice grips and replace it with a new one .
