(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) What will it be set on? Are the carbs still on the car?
I lower the engine onto a furniture dolly and lift the rear about 2 - 3 ft. All slides out fine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

I have done mine many ways.
The first time I used a motorcycle jack and had to put the car about 3 1/2 feet up the next time I used a dolly and jack so it only took about 2 3/4 - 3 Feet. Now I have a dolly that is cut out in the middle so I can put the jack on the bottom of the engine and lower it onto the dolly both in and out. |

If you take the intakes off you won't have to lift it as high.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I was thinking w/o the carbs on, should save a lot of height. Back yard buddies makes a device that hold the car at about 26 inches off the ground.
