Thread: 99 GTP Motor Swap over next 3 weeks - where to put jack stands?

Definately not going to use outside body perimeter frame (rocker area), too many times I have seen those give out and destroying the car. I will be using jack stands and car may be up there for 3 weeks. Where is best locations? pics would be great too.

pulling from top or bottom?

Subframe. I typically jack from the front of the subframe in the center. Then you can jackstand at your back subframe mounts. It'll make the car pretty high up though.

My suggestion would be to get some lower blocks that have the tires a little off the ground for most of the work and then have stands for when you need to be underneath working on the exhaust.

Why three weeks?

Three weeks cuz i got no time - i hope to do it sooner but that would be worst case scenario.

OK, so blocks on the cradle or on the "frame" rails (not perimeter frame)?
