I would suggest that you get the 6-ton jackstands which will give you more lift and capacity and a lot safer than those skinny ones you are using. I will not trust those. How are you going to support the engine? ATV jack or a regular floor jack? The car clearance height will depend on the minimum height of your ATV or floor jack.

Thanks for your comment and I admire your 2 post lift(please post pic)! Like other members here I will go ahead and do it with jack stands(no choice here anyway). Since you pointed out I have checked the weight capacity of my stands. Fronts are 3.5t and backs are 4000lbs each. Should I not trust them for this project? The reason for this set up is I trust pin type jack stand more than ratchet type especially in the heavier back side. I have a Sears aluminum ATV jack exact same as rsr91128 has. Minimum height of this jack may be about 2 inches.
