Is it best to lift the motor up or drop subframe? Do I just undo the front engine mounts and lift up or do I need to screw with the trans mounts to et the right angle? About how far does the motor need to come up?

easyer to jack it up and put some wood blocks under the motor mounts to make it sit higher

depends on how high you can get the motor, i do a **** load more m30s where you do need to drop the pump, i can't remember if you can get away without it on the m50, it's not a big deal if you do though
