You can do them without rolling if you have small hands, I use a Thexton419 which is a pretty worthwhile investment if you own one of these cars. I know a lot of people take loose the torque mounts, roll it forward and jam a 2x4 between the block and the firewall, though.

There a tool you can get where you remove the two dogbone motor mounts and install this tool in place of one that has a threaded rod and crank that allows you to roll the engine forward to allow better access to the rear bank.

You unbolt the "dogbone" motor mount(s) on the top of the front of the engine bay and put this in its place. You turn the tool in the move the top of the motor forward. If you get your hands on this tool just make sure you don't pull the motor so far forward that you smash the ac lines into the radiator fan.

I got a 02 ss. I removed the dog bone mounts in front of the engine. Put it in neutral used this tool http://www.amazon.com/Thexton-419X-Engine-Moving-Tool/dp/B000IHNZPC. Much easier.

Try something like this hone inside of your plates, we used them in the bike shops I worked in to de-burr steel and aluminium seat post tube to prevent gouging the seatpost.
