No prob. When I'm done, I'm going to edit it all into a web page. I have a lot more pictures.
Speaking of:
The oil in the clip is CLEAN. There are oilchange stickers inside the filler door that indicate oil changes up to about 35k miles. Hard to believe, but the dipstick is indicating full here:
Not even "normal" oil residue in the boost tubes:

Ok....To work on this thing, the first step was to get it off the skid. To do this, I attached the lift to the tow loops. I used the motor mount bolts. I found that the lugnuts off a 1995 Nissan truck fit perfectly on the other end.
I lifted it straight up on its face and put some bricks under it temporarily for jack stands. While I had easy access, I removed the suspension and subframe.
After those parts were gone, I removed the exhaust hangers (good shape) and placed a 4x4 across the bricks that the unibody could rest on.
I lifted the front with a jack and a 4x4 in the center tunnel, then I placed the front on jackstands.
After this, I felt it was very safe to work on. I could not budge it at all. I took a few steps and jumped up against it and it didn't flinch. Now I can be comfortable working under it.
I have 1-2 hours of work until the engine is ready to drop.
