Thanks for your comment. I think 40 inch is great to be safe. What I have read somewhere says that 37 inch works with the bumper still on the car. I have roughly measured the height from the bottom of the heat exchanger to the highest point of the motor. It's about 26 inches. So considering minimum height of the jack and wood blocks or a board on it, I guess I will need about 32 inches clearance total with the bumper off. Am I right?
