I am not sure if your Porsche is the same as my 78 911 Sc, but I used floor stands and floor jacks (2).
In the rear alongside the wheel you can jack up the rear end with the floor jacks, and place the floor jacks under the longitugidal frame just in front of the rear wheels. You will need two (2) floor jacks to do this. The rear end needs to be raised approximately 34 inches with the rear bumper removed.
Place hardwood 2X4X3"l on top of the floor stand and let the car rest on them. This will keep them from slipping.
Once the rear end is raised, use one floor jack under the oil drain plug area, and the other under the transmission support to lower the engine. You may need raise the floor jack under engine high enough to suppor the engine (use 2X4's 90 degrees to each other to place the jack on. Once the engine is low enough, place the 2x4's under the heat excahcnger both sides, and lower it onto them and remove the jack. Remove the the 2x4's, place the jack on the floor and continue to drop the engine. I used a furniture dolly to set the engine on and it works great.
I have some pics if you are interested in. Let me know.

Steve
