Yes, it can easily be done with a trolley jack.  Just place it under the
pan, with a block of wood to spread the load over the pan, and jack the
engine that way.  I'd suggest removing and replacing just one mount at a
time.  That way you don't run the danger of a floppy engine falling
over.

It's a quick and easy job changing the mounts.

My question is: given my limited resources (a trolley jack) - is there
any safe way I can prop up the engine - and replace the mounts?
Without
the use of an engine lifting thingy.
