Default Pulling the rollerskate

So, my nb has been broken for quite some time. It was a v6 swapped grm challenge car. Liked it, but never really lived up to what i was hoping for.

I made a deal yesterday for a 250rwhp turbo 6 speed 3.63 torsen nb thats been wrecked pretty hard. My general plan is to rebody the turbo car into mine, and use the best stuff from both.

I think i want to pull the entire drivetrain out of the bottom of each. The v6 car, thats the only way it comes out....

How high do i have to lifttthe body on a stock miata drivetrain to come out the bottom? I dont have a two post lift, so im trying to plan ahead....

Without a lift you arent IMO getting **** out from the bottom of either car...

It's possible but a huge ballache. There's youtube videos, do your research ?

The v6 comes out with just front cradle being dropped, and front of car being picked up with the engine hoist wrapped around the front impact structure to about waist height with the back on the tires.

I had fone a bit of googling, but my ability in that area sucks. So i did research, it was just BAD research.

Expect a lot more dumb questions. This will be my first turbo car project (other than a factory turbo subaru that was stock maintenance stuff)
