Wow! What a great thread! I read all 42 pages of it over the last week. There are a lot of very talented makers in here. I have been in discussions with EAE about their 6503V2 recently. I am going to go through the import and freight costs with a fine toothed comb as they have been detailed a...

Very creative usage of the lumber outboard of the lifts. I am going to look into the maxjack - there is no possibility of mounting my 12000 lb 2 post lift in current garage -

This is an excellent idea! Thanks! The Porsche transaxle is a lot longer than that Ferrari and the 911s are ahead of it but doesn’t mean I can’t pull the transaxle somehow and reinstall. It wasn’t easy to put on but not impossible.

I like this idea and considered it but don’t know what to mount the engine support to with the intake installed as it has an aluminum block and heads and weighs just under 500 lbs

Good ideas! unfortunately the back of the cayman is not removable, but doesn’t mean some creative blocking won’t do it. I am going to see how much a spare inactive runner would be today to modify to a reinforced half width!

It would have to be quite high off the ground and may be possible with cribbing as suggested above. Thanks

I like this!

Very little as I can’t lift the engine off of the assembly/table as there is little room for the engine hoist under the car and being aluminum block lifting without the valley plate hook makes me leery. Iron block/heads I would use the corner exhaust manifold bolts for sure. I may be able to...

Ok all thanks in advance for any of your suggestions. I am in a bind here. I am in the midst of LS3 swapping my Porsche Cayman. I have been using my Titan 4 post lift with rolling jack so far but now have discovered that the cradle assembly on my hydraulic lift table does not fit between the...

Sorry missed this. I will look into these, thanks. Never heard of kuani Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

That husky reactionless does look good. Does IR or snap on make one that is more of a sure thing? "Impacting" air ratchet maybe is what i want? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

You are right. I did say impact ratchet. Neither the craftsman tool or my rodac are impacts. Just air ratchets but i cant figure out how to edit Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Also the 2115 is an impact gun. I have the 2135, a composite hf earthquake and ir 231c as 1/2 impact guns. To me the 3/8 gun is only slightly smaller than the 3/8. My dad and I went down the air compressor/air line diameter rabbit hole trying to get a MAC tools 1/2 impact he bought years...

Thanks for the replies. I realize a 3/8 air ratchet is not going to bust things loose like a 1/2 impact gun but I need something that is about ratchet size that can fit on in tight areas and break loose tight bolts bigger than 9/16. I am not looking for speed or ease of removing already loose...

Hey all- I bought a used 3/8 Rodac USA impact ratchet from my neighbors' widow who was an aircraft mechanic. Unless the nut is already loosened by my arm it wont budge anything ever. My dad bought a brand new 3/8 craftsman professional (the one with the lever trigger not the directional...
