Carpet?? You need to put a sheet of OSB or plywood on the gravel. Much easier to roll a floor jack. More height needed too.

Hi folks.

I'm sure the van height is ok but....

For removing a complete WBX, 25" floor to skirt below bumper is enough room right?

I will be lowering engine onto carpet. (working on gravel floor)

The engine swap madness has begun!

Thanks.

Neil.
