I'm trying to get everything together that I will need to finally drop the motor so I won't have any excuses left to keep kicking the can....
I need a new floor jack anyway, and I want to buy the Tangerine lifting plate. Any advantages/disadvantages of using the post model vs the Allen screw model? What size and type of jack? limited use so Harbor Freight models or similar are fine. What is the best height for dropping the motor? The car will be level unless there is a reason for it not to be. Thanks |

I purchased my HF Daytona jack a year or so ago and removing the pad was a chore, also had my local friendly machinist make an adapter to accommodate the plate from
Tangerine mine is not threaded as shown |
