Supporting engine when removing trans
I can support the engine by using a 16" scissors jack and 3 pieces of 1.5" thick lumber to to reach up to the oil pan at 20". But that might be kind of wobbly.
Found a few jacks with 24" max lift, but hate to spend $50 for something I'll probably use only once. About 19" lift would be ideal -- jack + a 2x8 to spread the load on the pan. Truck is a 69 C10 with a 350. Any ideas?
