We're all cheering for you. This sounds like a great project. Re jacks and stands, I will refer you to a thread from one of the most respected techs in the Ford GT community. Shadowman runs Discovery Automotive in No. CA and is the only person in his shop who touches the cars (and the only individual besides myself who touches mine). When he recommends care when working under a car for extended periods, I heed his advice.

Jim,
Although many people from Toronto think that it is it's own separate world by itself, it is part of Canada. Stacy and I are on the West Coast, and Toronto...well that is in the middle of the frozen tundra!
It would be about a 4 hour flight to get there, plus the 3 hours for pre boarding searches (thanks to the recent attempted bombing) then the 1 hour drive to the garage...the job should be done just in time for Stacy and I to enjoy the Pizza and Beer!
I'm in!

I suppose a gratuitous shot of my forehead is the future.
Or perhaps I can do some crunches (like a billion of them) and do the install shirtless, and when I get the live video for the install sorted, charge women to watch. I could call it:
"Southern man in carhardts and latex gloves pumps power into his German beauty, one screw at a time."
Oye, you're gonna' let me have it for that one. Hope I don't get banned for the double entendre.

So I took my car (recipient vehicle) for it's thorough once-over at the dealership today. Knowing (and being in support of ) my plans to install an SC myself, they inspected anything that might be stressed by this. I got the green light, all systems inspected, and good to go.
In addition, my tech spent a lot of time with me showing me some tips for what may be tough spots, including the injectors, etc.
Definitely ready to do this, but probably won't get to start until the week Jan 11th. Ah well, I suppose that gives me plenty of time to read through the instructions and tips a few more times.
