Recently I replaced the engine in my '87 DeVille. I never even considered raising the body.....way too much trouble. Bill has it right. The FSM has the procedure for removing and then reinstalling/sans Transmission. It is not a difficult job. Get at least one can of Liquid Wrench to help loosen fasterners. Take a lot of 'before' close-up pictures....lots! If you need any help, email.
