you're not serious are you?

Recommend you don't attempt this repair since you don't seem to know what you are doing



FYI, get a piece of plywood. Use this between the oil pan and the jack. It will spread the load equally and prevent you from punching a hole into the pan. Depending on the clearance of the subframe, you might actually have to use 2 seperate jacks. 1 infront of the subframe, and 1 behind the subframe. The piece of wood will run the area between them

If I knew what I was doing I would not be asking. I'm capable of doing it cause I installed the Roush Intercooled Supercharger in my truck. There are two bolts and two nuts on the passenger side motor mount, not sure which should be loosened. I know you can place a board under the oil pan but I think there is a spot the jack can be placed without lifting from the oil pan. I'm not an expert but with some help I can sure get it done.

IIRC we used a 6" 1/2 drive extension as a jack extension, and the loosened the bottom bolts out and lifted the mount and engine together, but we only needed to lift the passenger side a few inches to clear enough room to get the longtube header intalled.

i think we placed the extension right on the motor mount itself.

Just something to be aware of before you lift anything. Once you unbolt the mounts and jack up the engine, there's a very real possibility the holes won't line up when you let it back down. That will make your project alot harder then you planned on.
