Also there is a 4 ton hoist and a heavy capacity floor jack. Scary for sure, getting the package that high, but it's just high enuff to clear the car. All four wheels are on the ground, so there's no worries about getting things moved off jack stands. All I do is position the engine over the hole, let it down so the tailshaft is on the floor jack, then let it down some more and the floor jack rolls back as the engine drops in. It's really neat, and almost lines up with the mounting holes for the crossmembers. It should be all bolted in today, and then ready for all the peripherals to be installed.
