dumb question time

I'm going to take the motor mount bolts out and the tranny mount bolt out so I can jack the engine up an inch or so. I need the clearance to work on a snapped bolt.

The question is where to place the floor jack so that I don't break or crack anything....

I usually go under the harmonic balancer with a 2x4 inbetween the jack and it. Also the tranny mount should have enough give without un bolting it. last but not least when ur jacking it up make sure nothing is in the way inbetween the firewall and the bellhousing.
