I tried to install my engine today. I built a small bracket for my floor jack, rolled it under the car and WTF it didn't fit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)
It was a bit tippy once I got it up high enough but it kept catching on one thing or another, speedo cable, brake cables, hoses, wires...... 30 minutes later I lowered it and quit for the day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
Tomorrow I will try again with a little help from my brother. Any suggestions?

Oh I have to add, because of the car stand I built, I cannot put the front engine mount bar on the engine until I get it almost up into place. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
