I haven't done my Z yet. But have done other cars using jack stands. The higher the better. The more room you have to work with, the better.

Ever try bench pressing a Muncie Rock Crusher, BW T10, or a cast iron case Hemi tranny into place.

No. I wouldn't even try. But a buddy of mine bench pressed a Toploader into position on one of my Mustangs after three of us couldn't get it stabbed using a jack. I was impressed.

My 440 Dart Sport that I was drag racing back in the day. That was a weekly event.
