Hey guys,

I need to drop the subframe to do some repairs on my car and I was wondering whats the proper way to support the engine with the subframe off.

Thanks,

Look at the harbor freight 1000lb engine support bar for $60 US. I have one , it is built well, and works great. You can also pull the hood and use an engine hoist or a doubled up 2 by 4 and chain in the same position as the harbor freight support bar.

Harbor Freight is a good place to get one.

Go to about 12:00 mark.
