sure does. i was just told by someone i know who did headers on his v10/4r100 that he was able to just take the nuts off the motor mounts, and jacked the engine up about 2-3". not sure if that will be enough room for the bottom broken stud though... maybe with a right angle drill? but it would need extreme patience and precision which i dont think i have

I'm supposed to go to Warren, Ma for a social car event. Looks as though the Mustang will get wet, which is good, because I didn't wash it. It will suck if the rain continues past noon, however.
