Thanks Jamie... the engine mount area looks pretty strong (and indeed, it has to be strong to support mounting the engine there), but I wanted to see if anyone else had lifted a car from that area. I will definitely put the front of the car back on the ground for this lift.
Now, the question becomes... how do I get my engine crane from one corner of the garage to the other, when one car has the engine hanging out of the bottom and the other is up on jackstands with no wheels? Oh well, I'm not in a hurry to drive the 911. It's blocked in its bay by Babydoll (a 914 with no engine or tranny).
Salazar... I removed the rear fascia and bumperettes already. (And discovered that despite the fact that the bumperettes are coated in rubber, they can be horribly rusty underneath.) That gave me the clearance I needed initially when lowering the engine, but the car still has to go higher for the fan to clear. And I'll probably want to remove the air cleaner for extra clearance as well.
What a PITA this job has turned out to be.
