jaay -

i'm getting ready to do my 3.4L swap this summer. i'm in the process of sourcing shop equipment (hoist, engine stand, motorcycle jack, etc) and have a couple of questions:

1) how high off the ground did you have to get the oil pan in order for the motor to clear everything (height-wise) on the way out?

2) what did you use to jack the engine into / out of the car & how high did it have to extend?

the reason i ask is that i'm considering a specific motorcycle jack that goes from 4.5" fully collapsed to 16" fully extended. i'm not sure if this gives me enough height to reach the bottom of the motor once the car is up in the air.
