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.

The common practice w/ 911's is to lift the entire car with a floor jack under the engine case, so don't worry about hurting the motor as long as you lift by the case.
Two jacks works ok w/ 2x4s. Whatever the technique, two people are best. JN |
