I've searched and read a million articles on dropping the engine using floor jack(s) but cannot find a stated minimum in inches needed for clearance in the rear to pull it out. I can pull my carbs and oil breather box to lessen the vertical dimension of the engine and I will be removing the rear valence to provide more clearance. I have a low-profile jack and a Tangerine lift plate. Anyone have a ball park figure on the height needed from the ground to the back bottom of the car to get this beast out?
Car is a '74 2.0L. Thanks. Ansbacher |
