I second that 4 guys can lift the body.  I would say it is every bit of 500 lbs depending on how stripped it is.

I would consider removing w your 500lb hoist as long as you take safety precautions and lift slowly safely and stay out from under the load.  I have used a cherry picker / engine hoist before too and lifted with the seat belt holes in the tunnel which are fairly close to center of gravity.  You will want a supporter on each end regardless to keep level and to steady and watch as you lift.  Ensure all bolts and all electrical are detached.  

Good luck
