Default QuickJack anybody used to drop engine out the bottom

i hate working on my car when it's on jackstands, I need to drop the engine and do some work and was wondering if anyone has used the quickjack on their car?? Will it raise the car high enough to drop the motor and trans out the bottom without stacking more wood on top to get car higher?? What if I pull the front bumper off think that will work?? Here's a link.

your gonna need more height. 20"s of lift isn't going to get high enough to pull the engine and have something under it to drag it out.

Just walked out in the shop and measured my lt1 drop out that's sitting on the oil pan on a shipping crate. From crate to top of the alternator is 28 inches, the top of the intake is maybe 3 or 4 inches lower. And that's not taking into account the k-member and then something under it to drag it out.
