You should be able to rent one of the engine support braces. You can raise the engine from bellow with a jack and use the engine support braces to hold it in place. Take advantage of the situation and replace your subframe bushings and sway bar bushings, LCABs, control arms and ball joints and install an X-brace. Or just do an engine swap.
