ZR-1 Net Registry Forums - View Single Post - 90 Motor Mounts and C-beam plates..anyway to do it WITHOUT removing manifolds?

I don?t know positively if motor mounts can be replaced with stock exhaust manifold. Also, 94 and 95s have EGR on the passenger side which might add to the challenge.
As for the C beam plate bolts, exhaust location is such that getting torque wrench on the bolt is impossible. Ironically, my c beam bolts were loose and really didn?t want to drop the exhaust. Jim, Wazoo chief, had a 3/8? drive stub with hex head on it. I used 18mm socket, hex bolt head stud and ratcheting box wrench combo to tighten it. Did I get 40 point foot? Probably not but close I hope.
When installing c beam plate, strongly recommend Locktite.
