[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 10715540, member: 11681"] This one of the few jobs I paid to have done. I was not comfortable with dropping the K, with the jack stand that I have, I did not think I could get it high enough. This was the first fox platform Mustang that I got deep into mods with so I have never dropped a K before. A friend in the Cobra club hooked me up with one of his techs he manages that has done lots of mods on Cobras and he did it for me. You will need to borrow, rent or fabricate an engine brace to hold the engine suspended up while you disconnect and drop the K out from under it. I pretty sure lots of guys have done it on jack stands, just not me.:bash: The windage tray also gives you a little extra distance for keeping the oil level away from the crank, also the basic engine design itself keeps the crank a good distance from the oil. EDIT: Also you will need to trim the oil scraper on the pick up tube to clear the windage tray, it's best to mark it and cut or grind it OFF the engine in a vise or something. You don't want metal fillings flying up into the engine. [/QUOTE]
