It looks like I installed the wrong engine bracket on my car. As you can see in these pics, the drivers side bracket is crooked, which leads me to believe that it is not a GSR bracket. Which bracket might it be? LS? D-series? Those would be the only ones it could be, as many brackets were lying around mixed in together and they were all GSR, LS, or D-series.

I need to take it off tomorrow and get the right one, I am wondering if it is possible to remove the bracket without taking off the lower cover?

Yes, the bolts go all the way through the bracket and are not broken or stripped out.

 

I guess I'll find out today and let everyone know.

 

ya you need the one that is straight, not diagonal

edit* I believe they are found on B16's from the em1

 

Thanks, I am going to take this thing off right now and will head to the junkyard right afterwards.

 

Well it appears that the bracket is indeed correct, but the bolts and studs were incorrect. With tweaking, I was able to loosen the bolts, and use a pry bar to get the mount into the correct position, and then re-tighten.

but if you didnt figure it out no you cant take off the bracket without removing the cover... i learned that during my rebuild when i got the timing set all the covers on and torqued and realized i didnt install the bracket

 

I did something similar when I was putting it all together last year.
