engine cradle
 
i'm in need of an engine cradle to help me lower and raise the engines on both my 911S.
my makeshift jack and 2x4 contraption is not all that safe or practical. im sure some of you guys have pictures or plans of something you made that really works.
As always in this great forum , all help is greatly appreciated !!!!!!!

Great idea , maybe a little high at 11 3/8 inches with my quickjack set up. Maybe rear bumper out and no manifold will do it. Thank you..
I would love to hear more guys chime in !!!

How about this?

I haven't used this type of ATV jack, but I like the fact it has a pivoting hydraulic cylinder that when lowered is completely flat. Older style ATV jacks have an upright cylinder and fixed support that can interfere with the muffler.

Agree with 78 SC . . . we use a HF motorcycle jack with a plywood surface bolted on top
We now have a QuickJack that makes the job much easier . . . but, we do remove the rear bumper cover that is FG
