How high does my car need to be to drop the transmission out with a floor jack?

I have a 67 mustang and I want to switch out a C4 to an AOD transmission. I have 2 1/2 ton jack stands to support the car but I'm not sure how high the car needs to be in order to slide floor transmission jack to remove and install the transmission. Any ideas would be appericated.

About 2 feet would be good, like previous statement, If I was you I could get 2 more jack stands, and jack up front and back and put all 4 corners on stands, a whole lot easier and safer, had cars and machines drop on me by thinking jack was good enough, got lucky everytime too.



Good luck swapping trannys

As high as safely possible. I know that aint much help but the higher the easier it will be..
About 2 ft. But make sure the back of the car is up against a tree or something, not just chocked up. I had one fall on me like that.
i don't think you can get it up that high why not disconect the tranny from the motor while its in the car and then pull the motor out and then you can take the tranny out though the engine bay. thats how i have done it in the past
yep atleast two feet will be easier if the whole car is even and not just the front end you can do it with two but id wouldnt it harder to but back in... i had a 67 man i miss that car
