I'm planning on doing the engine and trans as one piece. How much clearance is necessary? I read where it's recommended to use large jacks, but those things are pretty high and it makes me nervous thinking about how high I would have to lift the car to get it to that height. So I was planning a multi step lift, as in:
1. lift rear and set on the small 3 ton jacks, base height
2. lift front and set on small 3 ton jacks, base height
3. lift rear and set small jacks at mid height
4. lift front and set small jacks at mid height
5. lift rear and replace small jacks with the large at base height
6. lift front and replace small jacks with the large at base height

I dunno, maybe I need to buy the jack pads to lift the car from the side to start off?? .....man I wish I had a lift.
