Mac's Engine Pivot Plates ?

[Tom Howland]

My MaxJax is permanent. I made up longer hoses and ran them overhead. I bought it on my own. The round post under the pads I cut shorter. The arms swing under with 1/2" clearance. I have a 6" block of wood with wheels that is just the right height to roll around on sitting up. My favorite position is lying on a creeper with the car just the right height. Boy you scored getting it for free.
My Arntz cobra has a very large trans tunnel designed for an auto trans. I made a wooden plywood mockup of engine, trans, webers to check fitment. Photo in gallery. Didn't fit. Cut out the front frame cross member then it fit. Because it was light enough I could hold it and pretend I was using an engine hoist to see if it would work. It did. Maybe cut a piece of plywood in dimensions of the center cross section and see how much angle it takes. My trans support is welded in so I needed to get over that as the engine package came down and in.

I have thought of cutting down the pad post's. I have two sets, one is 3" taller, and I like having the extra height. I have two nice stools with wheels with tool trays. I also have a great in height, tool box roll away that holds a lot of tools, parts and cleaning products.

I broke my neck years ago and have 3 vertebra fused, so I don't have full tilt of my neck.
It gets pretty sore looking up, so I can't do it for long.

I'll look at more of your pics.

If I ever built another Cobra, I would make a tilt front end, and removable as well. !

Was looking at your pics, where did you get that nice oil cooler by pass ?
