Just set the engine on something kinda tall. I used a large coffee can under a Camaro, and a bottle jack under the old Longhorn. If your engine is only beeing supported by your exhaust and motor mounts, you better go do something now. They will all be junk. I busted my ram horns, and destroied my motor mounts by keein it like that for about 3 months.
However, you are right, as long as your fly wheel is clear, you can start it. I wouldn't romp on the gas too hard, you are missing a mounting point there.

one ton Longhorn with a
Pontiac 350/350 and lots of
'personality'. Check out
