I have used the same lift for my 348 and 427 big blocks with no issues also. If you have the time and a spare set of hands, the front ends are manageable. Austin and I had my front end off in an hour (two stubborn bolts and 1 trip with the grinder) and on the other truck.
Seems like this is the pro way to go. Thanks for the additional information.

I too believe I will be bringing my friends grinder and drill to the party. ;-)
