Oi Pan gasket?? help

[Smokie55]

I am trying to change the oil pan gasket on my 72 Blazer. It has a 400 sbc and 6" lift with 3" body lift. Sitting on 40" tires.

this is becomeing a more and more dangerous change out than I thought. I am having trouble lifting the motor. My standard 3ton jack won't go high enough. So i place a block and jack stand on top of it. that kind of worked. Kicked out once on me. then my second attempt the Dist. hit the firewall. Even with the body lift. And it still didn't get high enough to pull the pan out.

I plan to pull the dist. and get a second jack and more jack stands for safety. A hoist won't clear my grill. Does anyone have any help they can offer. maybe and easier way. I have never had so much trouble before in my life. What a PIA.

BTW I plan to do a one piece gasket, so I won't have any leaks soon.
