Boy Howdy and Amen!! 
Don't ever trust concrete blocks!!
If you can ramp the front, then support the rearmost mainframes with stands, you're in like Flynn. Leave the jacks snugged up next to the stands while you're at it, good insurance and comfort food.
One question for you legal eagles out there: How does one by-pass the cat laws to get to use true duals? Most exhaust shops will throw you out the door for even asking for duals without cats. The fines are enormous!! Just wondering about the possible pitfalls.
Thanks, everybody, and Happy New Year!

If you put them on their side, you get a nice flat surface, but they are not made to have pressure on them that way. Using them on their side is how you get them to bust and kill someone.

Because the correct way to put weight on a cinder block is with the holes being vertical. This is how they are used to build heavy things, like buildings. You need a board on top to span the weight across those holes.

Once I got under the car and working my fear dissipated.
I did give it the shake test too and it felt very solid.
Thanks to all who contributed.
