So the 3.6 is on it's way - roll on 340 HP! It will be a long project however as I want to do it myself based on Todd's guides. But, without AC in my garage, it rules out the summer in Dubai where I am currently! (too hot for another two months)

Anyway I was searching for any internet info on DIY Boxster engine drops without professional hydraulic lifts - I.e Jack stands/Jack/Scissor Lift. Can anyone point me in the right direction if this is an option? I’ve ordered a Bentley book from Amazon, which is on it’s way but it would also be good to see if there is a Howto out there.

You know i don't have the issue with me now but in the latest Grassroots Motorsports Mag there is a company that sells a large sissor jack. It slides under your car in the middle and you place the 4 jacking points and away you go. Fast and easy. Might get in the way of an engine swap.

Btw are you flying/working in Dubai?

I like the idea of a full car scissor jack, but it may be out of my price range (shipping/weight is the issue) - this project is already mounting the $$$ up. I was thinking more along the lines of one of the engine scissor benches. Then again until I know how high etc I need to lift the car, something like that may be my only option.

Yup living in Dubai, flying all over MEA for the job...unfortunately not enough time for the car :-(
