You can't really tell but the jack has a block on top of it to equalize the preesure being put on the oil pan. We had to put a big block on top of the jacks pedestal to get the car jacked up for the second stage of blocks. The key is not to do it at once but to do it in stages. Jack the back up a little and then the front back and fourth untill you have it hight enough. We did the same thing to my 95 mustang when we converted it over to a 5speed. The contour job has been a two to three man job. The first day I disconnected all the hoses wires vaccums lines etc. The second day my brother-in-law carl and my other buddy came over. Usally one person hoisted while the other two were spotters. Actually putting the car the blocks took like 1.5 hours to do. Terry has also been a big help all the way through. Coaching us on what to remove and how to remove it the easy and fastest way. If you take everything off in steps its not that bad but if you try to go to step D before C you are going to have some problems. All in all it took us 5.5 to six hours. I can't mention enough how much terry has helped,thanks terry. Any other questions?
