Here is the details. Dug down and poured a new pad 7 inches lower than my existing floor using high PSI cement and rebar. It is a Greg Smith Equipment TD6MR 6000lb scissor lift. This has already saved me some time and will work great when I drop the motor. The only down fall is the central drive assembly where the lift would be... but hey, this is in a normal garage and has helped.
Let me know if you have any specific questions. The main idea came from a user "coreseller" on another forum.
Cheers,

The crew.. beers and food were served until they said stop after.
5,770 lbs of goodness came out of that hole dug down around 20 inches

roughed in. Sides not done yet. We went 7" down but the original garage cement was only 2-4 inches thick.. guess the lowest bidder won that job back in 89'
curing time and the addition of new shelves over the xmas/NY holiday. They look good from about 6 feet.
