i have a set of SUV jackstands that extend to somewhere in the neighborhood of 2' - 2.5' IIRC. That should be enough to get the nose of the car high enough to clear the LT1 coming out underneath.

I'll be @ home all day tomorrow if you wanna come borrow them.

Don't think that will be high enough but its worth a try. You really need close to or slightly higher than 3.5 feet. I would offer you the method I use to get the engine or tranny out that way but its pretty unsafe and you need to be pretty quick, so its not worth mentioning.
