well I did my 70 LS6 by using 3 come-a-longs...one at each body mount at the fire wall and one in the center of the rear...there are large access holes that when you remove the access covers, I was able to catch the frame on each side and used a chair from one side to the other (thru the access holes ) and used the come-a-long in the center of the chain...
The come-a-longs were hung from the ceiling thru a hole up thru a 6' long piece of 4x4 that was laid across my 2x8 ceiling rafters. I jacked each come-a-long a little at a time and I only lifted about a foot. I then pulled the frame out from under the body ( I had already removed all weels and suspension ) You could probably leave all suspension parts in place and just roll it out of the way. I then lowered the body on 8" cement blocks that were 3 high...one at each front body mount and at the rear used another 4x4 from one side to another on top of cement blocks. I would probably suggest solid cement blocks or good heavy duty floor jacks. I DO NOT WORK UNDER THE CAR AS IS'T NOT THAT SAFE ON CEMENT BLOCKS. I just bought a body rotisoiry? to mount the body safely to. Don't forget to disconnect the emergency brake cable...ask me why Just another way to do the body lift...hope this gives you an idea.
