Strap the crap out of it so it won't go forward. It will be FAR easier to retrieve when you get home.
I NEVER set a motor down on the pan... that's just asking for a bad outcome.
Autozone -- and or similar will sell you a POS engine stand that bolts to where the mounts go and picks up the bellhousing flange... probably a whopping $30...

I'm with you... I can't run the engine that far forward also because I have a rolling cover and the canister will get all beat.
I will take wood....hammer, nails and a drill.
