I'm going to be test fitting the 3.6, so it will have to be lift in and out of the car multiple times. The bottom of the case is not really floor jack friendly, so I'm wondering if anyone has any great ideas for lifting these big MoFo motors safely and securely. I'm aiming to not be dependand on someone else to help steady the motor.

If you've got some HEs you can bolt on it'll provide a nice flat surface for an ATV lift. Yesterday we placed a 2x6 across the rails of the ATV lift and placed the engine with HEs on top of that. If you look here you can see the ATV lift with the engine and tranny on it. The advantage of the ATV lift is that they are low, about 5", in the down position and lift almost straight up without any balancing dramatics.
