hell i even dug up an old pic
I see you know about putting the back tires on ramps that are turned sideways. That helps a ton. I have done about 10 car this way and it works great

Haha...youre picture was what convinced me to do it that way... It was oneof the first that I saw using this method...

Since Ive done it a couple of times, and the way my car is set up, I could have the motor out in a few hours..if that. Heck I could probably remove and replace it in a day easy.

I have noticed my pic being used alot. Some people say its crazy but it works well. We can get mine out in about 1.5. I just did my first auto car last week. It would have been out very quickly except the trans lines didn't want to come off
