The 'E' Type Forum

I just pulled the coolant pipes out of my ’70 E‑Type Coupe (LHD) and figured I’d document the process, because while the forums have plenty of theories about removing them, nobody ever seems to explain how you actually wrangle that long pipe out of there. It turned out to be pretty straightforward o...

Just to follow up, the Quickjack as others pointed out, doesn't go high enough to slide the engine out. It's not even close. I put the rear wheels up on my ramps and simply lifted the front up like so many others have done. https://i.postimg.cc/Rhh10V1G/IMG-4977(1).jpg https://i.postimg.cc/fyy7bT7p/...

My garage simply doesn’t have enough width for any type of posts. Years ago, the previous owners added a bathroom off the kitchen, shrinking the garage from a comfortably sized two-car space to what I’d call a one-and-a-half-car setup. I typically park the E on the left, carefully squeezing out the ...

Thanks for the replies. I don't have room for a 4 post. My garage is barely wide enough for my 911 and Jag. Vertical clearance is just 8'6". I think a mid-rise lift of some type is my best option. I'll simply park over it as I do now with the quick jacks when it's not needed.

Bringing this topic back with a question about using a QuickJack on an E-Type. I have a 1970 Series 2 coupe and have tackled quite a few projects with it lifted on jack stands—rear-end removal, new exhaust, suspension work, etc. Next up, I need to drop the engine to replace the clutch. I've been usi...

Never mind I just found this thread

With the gas adjustable bumped up one turn to 3. Joey, How many "clicks" total on your shocks? On all six of my Gaz shocks, there's 19 clicks from mild to firm. I've got them set at 10 clicks up from mild. I also set the rear springs so that I had 22" on the left rear arch. I then set the right rea...

Thanks Joey, I'll give it a try.

Hi Joey, Not to go too far off the track but how did you determine where to set your springs? I've got a similar setup on my car. I've been playing around with the settings and they still "feel" a bit soft so more tweaking. Is there some specific measurement you're looking for? This photo shows them...
