Looks like I might need to pull me engine (Porsche flat six) and transaxle (901), I know I've seen some cool modified jacks to do this but cannot find them now, any and all help appreciated...

This is what I use. The extended pads on the vertical struts pull out to make the jack top lower.

I have one of those too, a Craftsman - but it's been stuck under my 20' shipping container for a few years now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I'd have to empty everything out of the container to be able to lift it up with a cherry-picker to free the jack (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ... not something I'm looking forward to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I haven't tried it to drop a drive train yet, but I have a couple of HF 500# capacity hydraulic tables (one in CA & one in AZ). I use them to lift motors and other heavy items up to my truck's tailgate level.

Still, one would need to lift the rear end of the car up to pull the drive train out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
