 Loosening the left engine mount, and jacking up the left side of the engine will both raise the engine, and rotate it to the right (ie, it pivots about the right mount). But you can only go so far before the bell housing or transmission binds against the body.

Also, the gear lever can bind against the side of the hole through the body/ transmission tunnel. If you elect to raise/ rotate the engine, first either remove the gear lever, or select a gear in the far left gate to move the lever as far out of the way as possible. Then pay attention to the gear lever as you jack the engine, and don't put any force into it by binding it against the body.
