Morning All,
I have the Tangerine Racing jack plate for engine install. I see he has one with the post and one with the hole (I know -not going there). I have the one with the post. I have an old Blackhawk jack (I played on as a kid -that's how old). The plate won't come out. My son's newer jack has the screw plate. Before I take a saw to the plate to adapt it to my son's, which of the older jacks work? I'll FB Marketplace it to try to find the right older jack. Thanks in advance!

The jack plate with the hole is for engines with tuna can oil sumps.
If you can't remove your jack's plate, the CFR tool likely won't work for you. Most of them just lift out. Zach |

You have 2 jacks. Put a jack under each rear donut and remove the rear wheels, slide a furniture dolly under the engine and trans. Lower the car so the engine just touches the dolly. Remove the 2 bolts holding the engine bar and the 2 rear trans bolts. raise the car and slide the engine out. Much safer than balancing on a jack plate.

The 2 floor jack method works very well. Very safe too. I put the jacks under the control arms. Loosen all of the fasteners before lowering the car. I take the exhaust off too.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) The Tangerine jack plate has a standard saddle attachment, most jacks have a removable saddle to attach different holding devices such as the Tangerine jack plate, it fits my 30 year old Chinese Allied jack I got at Sam’s Club. |

Simple question, will the CFR/Tangerine engine jack plate work with a Harbor Freight 3ton, low profile jack?
