The way to do this is to lift the car with an overhead hoist,using the brackets under the rear bumper.   remove all necessary Lines wires shift controls  axel's speedo cable  etc  loosen motor
 mounts then lower the car onto a motor cradel and remove the motor mounts
now lift the car clear. this is the proper and safest way\

I have 4  floor jacks that extend to 21".  Will that be high enough?  I guess 
 the bottom line question is what is the suggested body height from the 
ground  to safely allow for an engine removal?


Art,
 
Get as high as is safe, I'm talking about the car. The minimum height that  
you'll need will depend on the height of the cart on the jack. Your jack stands 
 should be good, get them up as high as they'll go.
