Good deal. That's about the only fix I can think of.

Joel,
I would suggest that you pull the hood & the extension, and the
radiator. I'd also pull as much of the auxillary equipment as
possible to lighten the eng. I pulled my eng & xmission as a unit,
but this is not necessary. However, if you leave the xmission, you
will have to support the front as there is only one rear mount.
Have you ever pulled the eng. on an automatic xmission before?
If not, you will have to remove the inspection plate on the front
bottom of the xmision and remove the nuts that attach the torque
converter to the flex plate (fly wheel) before you can seperate
them.
While you are in there, you might want to take a look at the
transmission cross support. Mine was rusted to nothing and I had to
make a new one.
