Pallet jack to drop engine?
Has anyone ever used a pallet jack for an air cooled 911 motor drop? I got rid of my Craftsman lawnmower jack a few years ago, but was just given a really narrow pallet jack. The jack goes up to about 14-16"
Thanks and be safe

Sounds like it could work, i've used a hybrid car/ATV jack in the past, so it may be similar.

sounds similar to the motorcycle jack I've used. Build a small from or cut down a smallish pallet to help support the engine. As long as it fits under the car you can always build up with lumber.
