Gary W - That sure is a nice car (and garage)!
Since I didn't have a lift in my garage at the time I did this, I decided to buy a hoist instead of messing around with my regular jack and a bunch of tall jackstands. I jacked up the car a bit, slid dolly
#1 under the subframe, hooked up my hoist to the engine/transmission, unbolted everything, then lowered the subframe onto my cradle. Finally, used the hoist to pick up the back of the car (added some blocks of wood under the front wheels to give the front lip clearance), and slid out the subframe.
Then, I made dolly
#2 for just the engine and transmission. It was a nice thing to have to help remove/install the tranny on the engine. I used the hoist to separate the engine/transmission from the subframe and place on dolly
#2 . Then, I cleaned the subframe and reinstalled it on the car so I could roll the car around (and move it from SC to OR, and then from OR to PA but that's another story).
Anyways, if you use a hoist, make sure you build dolly
#1 such that it fits between the hoist legs (green line), and also tall enough so that the subframe and suspension will clear the top of the hoist legs. Mine did just barely on both accounts - I got lucky and was able to roll it out while the rear of the car was lifted in the air.
Both dollies were built with a few locking wheels too.
Hope this helps, at the time I didn't have any pictures to help me through the process... that's why I detailed it on my engine build thread. Don't know how the original pictures were deleted, but I found copies below.
Good luck on your build!

Oh - the middle casters in the dolly below were due to adding a thin piece of wood over that area. Without the side engine mounts for support, I slid in a thin piece of wood to support the oil pan and stabilize everything on top of those casters. Sorry - I don't seem to have any pics of everything sitting on this dolly.
