HAS ANYONE EVER REMOVED SUBFRAME FROM BODY BY LIFTING BODY UP HIGH ENOUGH TO CLEAR ENGINE, TRANS, ETC THEN ROLL FRAME AND ENGINE OUT TOGETHER ?? CAN THIS BE DONE?

Absolutly! I made special casters for the body that are 2" higher than the frame. I unbolt the frame and simply roll the body back.

Are you thinking about leaving the front fenders and stuff on when you do this? If so, that might be hard to lift the body high enough to roll the subframe with engine out complete.

I've done it before although I did remove the lower valance. Much easier that way. It's pretty scary having the car that far up in the air.

I did this, but all front sheet metal was off. Iput a 2x4 on a floor jack under the body, unbolted the subframe and rolled the engine/trans/front end out.
