Supporting the engine?

Ready to pull my 727 to be replaced with A833...

Question is how do I support the back of my 440 when I yank the trans?

The two most likely stupid ideas I had or a combo of both;

There is a one inch ish space between the oil pan and the drag link, I thought about placing a 1x1 piece of wood sideways across the pan. Only the pivot weight is there with the trans gone, can't be that bad? Yes yes I know dumb

Some type of post with a jack under a part of the block?

I have a maxjax lift, so the car is in the air a decenrt amount but not as high as a real lift, giving me some room to make something work but also compounding options given height to ground.

Anyway, I have not asked a dumb question all long weekend so here it is.....
