I'm in the process of shopping for a lift.
The question of 2 or 4 post has come up.

A 4-post will fulfill my needs (mostly storage and some work), but I'm not sure if a 914 and 356 motor can be dropped between the 32" gap in the middle.

Any ideas/experiences on engine drops with a 4-post lift? Thanks.
