I have lifted the engine before. It wasn't so bad. But that was back when I had stock exhaust and drive shaft.

Now that I have a 2.5" overpipe and one piece aluminum drive shaft I do not know how this will be as the clearance of these parts comes close to hitting the frame. I also have no idea how this may stress the drive shaft. Last time I did not disconnect my exhaust.

You can only jack it up so high before something starts getting caught on the frame as the whole transmission is connected not to mention your engine wires.

Remember to remove all battery connections,all strut bars, and don't forget to remove the connection to the alternator as that hard line will snap if lifting while connected. Also loosen or remove any intake connections that are bolted down.

Just be observant from top to bottom. Lift small inches at time then inspect if anything might be caught, listen for noises of stress on parts and look around. Also make sure you use a levelled flat block of wood to support the whole base of oil pan when lifting or you will risk denting it.

I also am not sure how far up you can jack the engine before it max out. It may or may not give you clearance from the side walls of the frame to easily remove the spark plugs. But at least you don't have to be reaching down below.
