So... the race car has no rubber left in the rear engine mount. Considering how nasty it is to get that in and out when the engine is not in the way... I was wondering if anyone has had any luck doing it with the engine still in the car? If so.. any pointers? do you need to take off the bolts to the steering rack?

It will take him a moment to realize that he's about to make a 180 degree turn at speed, but you will be ready for it. Brace for the g's, and fast heel-toe work.

Yeah, and its nice if you get it up in the air as high as you can. There's barely enough room to get under there.
You might need a wobble socket to get the center bolt out of the back mount. I don't remember what I did, but it looked impossible at first.
I put two jacks under the motor and removed the center member the front and back mounts attach to.
