Then use some wood on the jack to get the car higher, and then you should be fine.

Do you have a front valence/air dam that may hit the floor? Then just use a couple of jack stands in the front.

I have no idea why folks insist on removing the rear bumper.

+1; leave the bumper on.

I put 2 x 8 x 16" boards (with wedges) under the front wheels to get enough height so that the front spoiler doesn't get damaged when tilting the 911 arse-high. That way, I can lft the rear high enough to roll the engine/transmission out.



Safety first.
The balancing spot for engine/transmission is in front of the sump, not on it!
I made a simple adapter with plywood etc. to support the engine and transmission. Since the jack didn't go high enough, I just used some wood to make up the difference. Important: I lowered everything in stages using wooden blocks to support the load sideways under the HE's.



Take your time, don't rush and check twice that everything is disconnected.
