How the hell does the average guy get the car high enough in the air to drop the engine?

tall jack stands IE the only ones i trust the 3ton..the 1ton units are unstable too small a footprint and if youve never seen one fail..you should..so that youll never ever trust em again..ditto on 1ton jacks with those lil bracer arms..they like to fold over on themselves ,,,changing trans pan gasket on a 71 caddy and i had one fold on me and had a friend neer by able to hold up the car and drag me out...it was a every 1ton jack and sub 3ton jackstand i catch a friend with gets scrapped

also..typical wrecker around here has em on welded wheel stands which is PLENTY of space to pull an engine out the belly

at the wreckers ive proably pulled a dozen engines that way...2 bonus points..hood with the good side down makes a great "sled" to drag an engine with, and seat belts make GREAT chains, straps etc
