What a great idea, those furniture moving Dollys. Maybe reinforce it a bit with plywood over it. Never owned a mid engine car so it's nice to know the options we have for those without fancy garages with lifts. But for those average Joes like me how does one get a Boxster up to 24 inches? I'm asking those that have done it to replace an engine, just for future reference. I've come from the world of 350Zs or other front engine cars and by the way never looked back after purchasing my Boxster. Don't mind wrenching and just want to know how others have approached this issue.

Garage
I believe you'll need a little more space than 24". The 2.7 motor in storage in my garage is 23.5" top of manifold to bottom of oil pan. My dolly is 4"
