Great Thread!
Thanks to Jeff for the informative pictures and write-up. I'll be doing this Saturday, and luckily I will have access to a four post lift so I don't have to mess with blocks. I'll be taking the engine and tranny off and putting the subrame back underneath the car so I can get the engine bay painted with the rest of the car next month.
Again...Thanks!

Having worked all my life in heavy industry where we rigged and moved machinery weighing thousands of pounds, I can tell you for certain that if OSHA ever saw any machinery (regardless of weight) supported by concrete blocks, you would have big problems. So how much weight will a concrete block support at a single point contact before it crumbles? Who knows, but I'll tell you what, I sure ain't crawling under a car that's resting on them.

I wouldn't feel comfortable using those at that height. Not enough base IMO.

Each side has the holes...just pay attention to how I wrapped the chain on the driver's side....if your not careful with this..you will destroy the wiring harness. You can use properly rated straps too, but all I have are chains....plus there are a couple of sharp edges too.
On a final note, on the under side of the frame rails...you have to move the reserve vacuum tank(passenger's side) and the cruise control module(driver's side). hehe, now for the pics....
If you have a strut tower brace....many people use that to wrap a chain around and lift it. I don't have one yet....so I wrap the frame rails.
