Im reinstalling the 302 that I pulled the other night . Never done it in a bronco and just trying to take some steps that well make it easy. I know you guys have prob done it a few times

I found it much easier to have them loosely installed on the frame when I installed the 351W. Having them on the motor gave me fits.

I found it darn near impossible to install the motor with mounts on the block. It's really easy to drop the motor in and slip in the mounts with the motor hanging in place.

This is the way that worked best for me. Don't put them on the block or the frame. Drop the motor, then fit them in place, nice and easy.

I just put mine in a couple weeks ago 302 with C4 attached and the mounts were on the motor and it could not of been easier.
