  For the motor.(should make that clear)

.the floor jack worked fine for the tranny.  I did use my band saw to make a
cradle-block,  to help steady the roundish bottom of the tranny on the flat
pad that the floor jack lifts with..

I did all this stuff alone...Actually balanced the tranny with my arms and
used my left foot to pump the floor jack once or twice...
