Water pump engine mount 440

Joep said

Hi everyone, I'm in the process of taking apart the cooling system in my 440 to inspect it and I've ran into a little problem. I'm working on the water pump housing now and it looks like the motor mounts are I'm between the water pump housing and the block. So in order to take the water pump housing off I have to unbolt the motor mount and I'm terrified that the motor will come crashing down. Am I being too worried or is there another way to do it?

Man, i kid you not i LITERALLY ran into the same problem just today.. Lol accept mine fell because i wasnt paying attention to the fact that i had no engine mounts. Surprisingly it dodnt put a single dent on anything though... that could have just been luck though. All i did was sat a chunck of 4by4 under the pully and cranked it back up with a bottle jack. Worked just fine and after jacking it i just popped the water pump bolts back in and it helt it there just fine.
