From: In the garage fixing LT1
Disconnect everything and lift the chassis off the front frame with a cherry picker. I needed 36" of clearance between the floor and the air dam to roll the engine out with a dolly like the one pictured in this link:

Some differences in the way they did it and the way I did it: I disconnected all the harnesses from the engine and marked them with tape instead of pulling the harness through the firewall. I did an LT1, not an LS1.
There used to be a better link for doing this (michiganspeed.com) featuring a guy using beehive style stands he made himself, that's what I used. My stands are 17" high. I did the job myself, alone. With 2 guys it's a piece of cake.
