I'm getting close to tackling putting "Big Red" on my 9,000 lb 2-post lift. I've had trucks on it so it's plenty solid, but I have never lifted a Chevelle before. Back when I had muy first Chevelle ('67-'70) I only had floor jacks and concrete blocks! :) Any reference pics? All advice welcome.

Thanks,

John
 
I lift on the frame just behind the front wheel, and just in front of the rear control arm.
With that big-block hanging out there, expect some flex along with some creaks and groans.
 
Math.
To use the lift Properly you do the math.
You need front and rear weights, front and rear overhang.
The formula is pretty simple and all the lift companies have it on-line.
When I was putting my small block 68 El Camino on the lift the balance point was just aft of the wing window.
Your big block will differ a bit.
