If you eschew the use of lift bars then the easiest way to lift the front is at the guard for the lower control arm. If you don’t have two floor jacks then you can go side to side until you’ve got stands under the front.

Hi Ryan,
I will second everything that Wisconsin Joe said. If you're going to be getting a 928 degree, I cannot emphasize how much easier life is with the 928 liftbars. Especially if you plan on replacing the oil pan gasket.
My only other bit of advice is to listen to these folks. They're VERY knowledgeable and the they're very generous with their time in replying.
Lastly, all noobs should go to wayne's garage for his write-ups. They are very meticulously done and cover every step with great photos. I replaced my motor mounts, oil pan gasket and installed some headers using Wayne's write-up for the motor mounts. He takes very intimidating tasks and makes them look easy to do.
Good luck!

Thanks for the comments. Agreed. Having experienced people is priceless and I've appreciated all the advice, suggestions and concern offered from all of you.
I've had my head buried in the car and am learning a lot. Keep in mind, I'm a novice. I've spent a fortune keeping this car on the road and in good shape. It's come time for me to save some money and own my car.
So far, I've replaced the radiator, power steering reservoir and hose, and clutch cylinder. All a challenge but doable with advice from the reenlist community and the generous people posting to YouTube.
I'm putting the oil pan and valve cover gaskets off until the summer and plan on investing in Adam's suggestion.
I was hooked on the 928 when I saw Risky Business. The car is worth the effort!
Thanks all!
Ryan
