Motor mounts, springs
Posted: Fri Jun 24, 2016 7:36 am
Pulled the 4 cyl. on my 2000 in prep for the 5.0.
Looks like removing the motor mounts are a trick, might involve spring removal? Tips please.
AND if so, since it was a 4 cyl and I'm moving to an 8... and will have the springs off... what do I do to retain the original ride height? Should I switch springs out with a 4.0 6 cyl or put a small lift spacer in?
Do you know what the weight difference is between the 2.5 4 cyl and the 5.0 mountaineer motor?
