Borrowed my father's motorcycle jack
and found out it works great on the vette:
It gets real low and jacks real high, enough to get up on almost the highest level of my stands plus you jack it with your foot. I borrowed it to work on my trans but now I have to have one for myself. Jacks the whole side of the car up at once too. I actualy bought it for my father at Sam's club a few years back for $99, now I'll have to see what the cost is now.
They actual mention the Sam's Club one I have (it si rated at 1200 lbs but had no problems with my vette minus the eng and trans:

I just bought one of those for $80 at costco. I've been using it to install air cooled VW engines. :cheers:

Wonder if it would cause any damage to frame?

Re: Borrowed my father's motorcycle jack (Cali,77,L-82)
I have actual jacked my car up with a single jack using the center cross member (eng and tans in) and my doors close fine. I jack it up and put stand at either end rather quickly. If I owned a $100,000+ 67 427 vert I would probably not do it but for my less than perfect 73 it has worked fine. :)
