Disclaimer: I've never even tried this; sounds risky and why not refresh
the clutch while you're at it (unless you know it only has a few
thousand miles on it).
But, I'll throw out a wag. There are several things that could limit the
vertical travel of the drivetrain--in roughly decreasing levels of
risk--off the top-of-my-head:
1) Fan hitting the radiator.
2) Breaking something in the throttle linkage (more finicky than even
the 6-cyl cars IMO)
3) Stressing/breaking something in the mechanical clutch linkage
4) Stressing the motor mounts (aftermarket rubber parts are sketchier
even than OEM)
5) Hitting scuttle/firewall or other restraint
It'll be a bitch getting it mated back to the gearbox--at least, I KNOW
it is in the 6-cyl cars--unless you get REAL lucky.
#s 1-3 require further disassembly of your drivetrain.
