This was one of the best ideas ever, If you dont have a lift, this works awsome, it keeps the back bumper from dragging when you lift the front of the car up it also gives you way more room underneath, and yes it is very stable

I just bought a different motor, going to keep it all stock I think, Hope to have it running tomorrow, So I have allot of parts off the old one if you know anyone that needs something, The block is shot, has about a 4 inch crack as the pictures show,
