1st Engine drop: dolly question

Okay, everything (that I can see) is disconnected. All the tranny bolts/nuts are off (except the starter one, which I can't see and can barely touch, so I'll get it when the tilting begins).

Problem is, I have to use my only jack for the drop and if it's under the engine, then I won't have it to lift the car higher if it needs it. I was going to make a low-profile dolly that fits all the seams and knobs of the bottom of the engine, and then I caught myself. Am I going where no man has gone before (lately), like way, waaaay overboard? The rear bumper is 1/2" shy of what they say you need in the Pelican Engine Drop tech article. Will a furniture dolly from the Harbor Freight work well enough? More importantly, is it okay to rest the engine on the heat exchangers for a while?
