5.3L SS

I just bought a 2006 Monte Carlo SS with the 5.3L V8. This baby is fully loaded and great but i would still like to do some modifications. Does anybody here have this style? And if so what has been done?

RE: 5.3L SS

Remove the dog bone's 2 bolts,15 mm I think..Set the dog bone aside...The mount we want to flip is located by radiator support. Take one of the bolts and tighten it around the mount itself...Get some wd40 and lube the hell out the mount. Take 2 wrenchs and rotate the mount towards the engine...Reinstall it all and go for a spin......
