does this look safe to you?

[Sean T Sat]

Ok so im doin an engine swap for the first time and im a little nervous about bein under a car so tell me does this look safe to you?

[Teaguer]

Looks perfectly safe .
Wheels are chocked which is good and jack stands are OK ...could be a little more forward but they are fine .

It would look a lot better if you toss those Tempo whels in the trash though . :D

[Dave]

I'd like to see some damn good chocks behind the rear wheels - other than that - looks good.

He's using cinder blocks mang . ;)

[Dave]

ah - I see them now.

[george graves]

Loose the cinderblocks, All they will do is slide. Get some wheel chocks. Walmart, less than $20 for two nice plastic blocks.

Better yet, get two more jack stands. They will eliminate any tendency of the car to move and give you more working room.

[Jean]

Two more jack stands ftw

If its a level surface, i cant tell from the pic.

[Dave]

Looks like a slight downslope - I'd get some real chocks.

[Sean]

You'll have a hell of a time getting these motor out using a cherry picker on a slanted surface. That would really suck.

[hendrixvodu]

borbet type CA's?

[bostonbmw]

I would make sure the jack stands are at the same spot on each side of the car.Length wise they should mirror each other. And get some wheel chocks

level surface?

[moatilliatta]

Wheels I think look good the vert. Them jack stands have nice wide surface that mate to the car. they look to work quite well when sat on the unibody part. It sucks having skinnier ones the set kinda cockeyed.
