Default 1989 C4 Corvette engine is out.


I had to move the right front Jack stand so I supported the front of the car with my floor jack from the cross beam in front...

Well, adding to the revival, my '87 and a reminder that the Happy Hooker is a good good thing.
FYI, note after the first pic, I added washers to more secure the Hooker before lifting!


The Happy Hooker!


Yep, Pittsburgh. Note where the jack stand is, that's still under the frame and where I usually put it anyway.


Note the washers I added to secure fully. Probably could have skipped, meh.


Tranny support.


Tranny support.




Up and away!


Ready for the engine stand.
