I've read the 101 book and subsequent threads for engine drops. I'm looking at starting a drop this weekend. I've got a 1980SC with an Elephant Racing suspension and it sits fairly low and I'm a little worried about clearance once the engine is down.

I'm going after chronic oil leaks on the passenger side.

Concerns:

I'm going for leaks, do I need a complete drop or a partial.

Do I need to or should I drop the engine/trans or just the engine.

Do I drop it onto 4x4s as shown in the book or can I rig a dolly with wheel and drop it onto a dolly.

Will I need to remove the bumper for clearance.

At what point do I need another person involved.

Where am I most likely to get into trouble.

Any special tool required?
