Lift/Jack points for 84 FB
 

OK, this has to be obvious to many, but with my 74 Rx3 and now the 84 Rx7, what are the alternate lift points besides the 4 for the sciscors jack?

I need to work on the exhaust, and pull the engine. So I would like some more room underneath.
The last thing I want to do is damage something.

I have 4 jack-stands I use for the Ford E150 and E250. And two floor jacks.

Suggestions?

Front crossmember and either rear axle or rear lower control arm mounts.

I usually use the front crossmember and the rear end (specifically the bottom of the third member). My springs were always really soft so i didnt have much room to get a jack anywhere else, and occasionally i have used a scissor jack to reach these 2 locations.

When I jack up the front, I use the cross member. Because the front end sits low, I took some 2x6 and made ramps by cutting 3 different lengths of 3', 2', and 1'. I then stacked and screwed them together. This allows me to drive up them and get 4 1/2" higher so the floor jack fits under the front bumper/spoiler. I then put a piece of wood on the top of the floor jack head. Make sure the jack head is seated on the cross member and not the oil pan.

Great. Thanks everyone.

(Right now its a roller as many components have been removed from the top of the engine.)

That's a really good idea, I'll have to remember that one for my next car. Especially if it were to get lowered at all..

They actually sell little ramps at harbor freight for this purpose

What I have found with "car ramps" is that the angle is to steep for cars that sit low in the front. The ramps I made let you drive up 1 1/2" at a time.

I've encountered something similar putting my car on my trailer. I had to make a ramp extension to allow lower cars to not get high-centered on the rear of the trailer.
