Def the motor mounts, I never did the transmission mount. You may need to pull the dizzy out to get a little more height.

About how many inches up

Gonna need to take off your dist cap, take the bolt off the motor mounts and get an engine hoist and pull the engine as high as you can. Don't jack the engine by the harmonic balancer. Getting around the oil pump was a lil tricky but can be done. Check your valve covers for leaks first and remember the timing chain cover gasket should be replaced to. Good luck and keep wrenching!

Don't forget to check the rear Intake seal, distributor base gasket, and rear main seal for leaks.

The engine was just rebuilt using a felpro 1 piece oil pan gasket and a used stock oil pan and oil was leaking out the sides of the oil pan gonna use a moroso oil pan
