        It's the whole jacking the car up thing that is really scaring me right now. Once I can get the clearance to remove that last oil pump bump, the pan will be off. However, I heard some weird noises and basically psyched myself out of raising the motor any higher. If only I just had a damn lift...one day!!

          you need an engine hoist, i just did mine in an hour and an half. Toughest part was getting the engine mounts to line back up when you lower it down.
