Motor Mount replacement
I have a sc400 and i just ordered new motor/tranny mounts... the tranny mount looks pretty simple but now im stuck thinkin about what i should do to lift my engine a few inches to replace the motor mounts... Ive figured a way to lift it or actually lift the car up support the engine(I do not have a cherry picker) and lower the car down. Has anyone done it this way? and i was just wondering what experiences you've had with doing it without a cherry picker. to the ones that have should i worry about wires, hoses, or anything else that would get in the way of the engine being lifted JUST ENOUGH TO REPLACE THE MOUNTS.

Should i be worried about things gettin cought up on the engine like wires, hoses, or anything else? Im waiting on motor mounts to come in and should be here in a few days... i plan to do what you said about lifting it from the oil pan with a floor jack and 2x4. I guess my main question is will the engine lift up with ease as long as i have it supported correctly?
