Use a hyd bottle jack on one side at a time up against the oil pan bolts on the side of the eng to take the load off so You can R&R each mt

I have use a cherry picker to lift the front of engine with a chain on the 2 front intake bolts

lift engine 1x and change both mounts let it down

watch the exhast pipes or headers when lifting so it wont tweek anything,but very do-able in an afternoon

i use basically the same thing. my floor jack and a piece of wood between the jack and the pan edge. i span across a couple of bolts to spread the weight.
