Question How do you hold up your engine when the tranny is out?

I am taking the 700R4 out of my 92 camaro and will be wanting to move the car while the tranny is out. Problem is, the engine will be hanging there by the motor mounts which doesn't sound like the best idea.

Has anybody devised a way of holding the rear end of the engine up so you can move the car around without a jack?

Thanks.

I just let it hang by the motor mounts. Wouldn't leave it that way forever.

make sure you at least pull of the dizzy cap (or the whole dizzy) or you will break it on the firewall.
