I'd rather see you mark the positions of the support brackets, and then remove 
the 4 bolts that connect the rubber mounts to the welded-in brackets. Then you 
could jack up the engine and slip some spacer washers in between the mounts and 
the brackets, which would have the effect of lifting the rear of the engine by 
about the thickness of the spacers.

How far up to you think you'd like to lift it?
