Ryan,  Sounds like you're a veteran now.  I did my first like R. Gault to 
some extent--raising and lowering the car and powerpack until things lined up 
though I used two car scissors jacks with the blocking.  I had cut up a 2x4 stud 
into blocks about 6" long that I used to keep things steady.  The wooden 
cradle with heavy duty casters was also a big step forward.  Then the floor jack 
with a big piece of 3/4" plywood to support and protect the powerpack.  Almost 
looking forward to my next clutch job and the new ATV lift.

Keep on Corvairing and don't misplace any spacers etc.  I'd also recommend 
that you remove the front transmission crossmember now, clean it up and bolt it 
to the transmission before you reinstall everything again.  That way you won't 
be tempted to "pull everything together" with the transmission to crossmember 
bolts when you reinstall things.

Best of luck.
