Engine/Rear REmoval Dolly?
Anyone have plans on how to build a dolly to support the engine/driveline for a C5?
I am planning to add heads/cam/headers and a clutch soon. I think that it would be easier to build a dolly so that I could lower the entire driveline at once.
I have a lift and used a dolly for my 72's body when I dropped the frame.

Shouldn't be too difficult to figure something out with a tranny jack for the rear and some other heavy duty jack stands or rolling support up front. A buddy and I had the drivetrain less the motor out on just the tranny jack in a few hours using his four post lift. With a two post lift, you can get a little more creative.
Here's a link to some pics when we pulled the drivetrain. Would've required less maneuvering with a 2-poster I thonk.

Also, I believe someone posted some pics of Dragon's Breath drivetrain removal from a C5 not long ago. I think they supported most of the drivetrain, including the motor with jack stands and perhaps a tranny jack.
