No, it will not...you need a 2 post. The subframe will hit the lift unless you have one that's got a gigantic amount of space in between.

That doesn't LOOK like it's got enough spacing but it's always hard to tell from pics. The subframe basically goes from the inside of one wheel well to the other which it doesn't look like yours will allow.

I've also used a furniture dolly to hold the subframe and engine, then using a engine crane picked the car up over the engine

same here...plus my furniture dolly was carpeted to protect the subframe from scratches :-DIt's funny how light the front end becomes without the engine/gearbox/subframe
