Has anyone with a SS used the front sway bar? I havnt see much in terms or reviews. I wouldn't mind getting it to complete my suspension with the rear sway bar and upper mount

Hey Mike,
Three ten mil nuts hold washer reservoir.
Three fifteen mil bolts hold the mount to motor.
Two eighteen mil bolts hold the mount to the frame.
Also, need floor jack to support/raise motor for the changeover.
Ten minutes is pushing it. But I've seen top fuelers rebuild motors in an hours, so maybe.
Half hour start to finish, that includes putting your tools away.
Took our most of the torque steer, and the slight lag from pedal response.

Thanks for the info on the mount
I am assuming some may have the stock flexible air inlet tube from the Fender to the air cleaner.
I found out yesterday that it can be a bit tough at least on mine to get that off with out making a mess out of the plastic
Here is a quick and easy way I found to get the tube off two zip ties and then pull up
Also I found that when installing the tube its easier to put the tube on the air filter box first bottom first then top then attach to fender.

This is more of a understanding question. I've never changed my motor mounts to aftermarket. I understand the bonuses of going aftermarket. A tech had told me one time that an engine is suppose to have a little play in it, otherwise other parts COULD start breaking? What is your take on this guys? Thanks for the help.
