The engine is in. The 2" x 1/8" angle worked just fine to lift the car. I had the rear supported on body stands at the forward leaf spring mount. There was very little weight on the front. I would however recommend using 1/4" angle. Once the engine was bolted up, I wanted to see what the 1/8" could handle and lifted the car up with the cherry picker. The angle showed a little bit of deflection. It held the weight OK but 1/4" angle would be nice insurance.
