Transmission swap

I’m starting my winter projects on my ‘49 F1 with the original Flathead v8 and 3 speed. Im going to add a 68 F100 9 inch swap, new lowering springs and a T5 swap.

What is the best way to block the rear of my Flathead when I pull the transmission?

Does anyone have experience with the LMC lowering springs? I’d like to get the Posies but I live close enough to LMC I can pick them up and save shipping.

A stack of wood blocks under the rear of the oil pan will work
