Yeah, what Rob said. The smartest idea I've seen yet involves 3" ABS tubing long enough to get the rear coolant higher than the rad and a 3" to 2" Flexi-collar. No revving, no jacking, no nothing. He also has a valve in the bottom of the ABS to release the coolant after you're done. See pix and the originator's description here.
