Engine Drop/Lift Question

[SpendaBuck]

I've got 39" between the lift platforms.......Is this enough width to raise the the car off the engine?? or asked a different way....Is the engine wider than 39" when dropped

Thanks

Boyd

Oh......'89 3.2

I don't have an answer to your question but what kind if lift do you have?

PM FXEditor.
We just dropped his 3.2 complete last weekend and I'm sure he will measure it for you. We had to take it off his lift to do it because his lift is only 32 wide between platforms. I believe he said we needed 39 , but I would not start dropping the engine on my shoddy memory.

Oh boy! I have a mid rise scissors lift and was looking to get a four post lift. If engine drops can't be done I have to rethink what i'm going to do.

Four posters are very difficult for 911 engine drop. just do it without the lift.

That is what I worried about with a 4 post when I was looking at lifts- engine drops... I decided on a mid rise and have not looked back.

I have heard of some guys just hanging the rear end off the 4 post lift. I have not seen that done though.
